Playing Mystery House online?

Post by Jules » Wed Nov 17, 2010 10:33 pm

If I can recall correctly, wasn't there a website where you could play Mystery House online through your browser without having the game? I tried googling it but couldn't find anything.

My sister finished the text game contest on Cort-X and she wants to play more text adventures, preferably online like that one. Are there any others online to play?

Mystery House was not a plain text game. It is considered the first graphical adventure. It was released to the public domain for Sierra's 7th anniversary. You can download it here with the AppleWin emulator.

I cannot recommend the Infocom text adventure games enough. Here is a site that has a slew of them that you can play online: http://www.xs4all.nl/~pot/infocom/

Those are perfect, gumby! Thank you!

I was actually looking for Final Soul but forgot the name of it. I was hoping you would post it here! :D
