To celebrate the release of the latest 4th Dimension Games CD we are including a full commercial game from it...

Haunted House

You can read a full review of this game, and the others that come on the 4th Dimension Adventure Games CD, elsewhere in this issue. As a special treat we decided to include one of the games with this issue. After some heated debate amongst the RISCWorld contributors we finally decided that our favourite game was Haunted House, so here it is!

We have also supplied an HTML version of the manual in this issue, although to be honest the game is pretty much self explanatory, although it's far from easy. The most important thing to do is examine everything, to do this simply move the mouse pointer over the item you are interested in then press MENU.

The first puzzle you must solve is how to open the gate. If you examine the gate carefully you will find that it has a combination lock. If you carefully look around outside the front of the house you will be able to find the combination. I won't say too much more but don't forget you can pick up objects and move them around, perhaps part of the combination can be found under one of the items sitting outside? If so then perhaps there are several items all on top of one another. If you have a sweet tooth you shouldn't have any trouble finding the whole combination. Once you have the combination you can open the gate and enter the grounds of the house, from then on you are on your own.

If you get stuck outside the boarded up front door then I strongly suggest reading Matthew Thompson's review elsewhere in this issue. I do have one final tip, try not to drop anything unless you are sure where it's going! If you aren't careful you might lose an item and have to start again.
