Transylvania

Author:Antonio Antiochia
Genres:Horror>Vampire
Fantasy
Released:1981
License:Former commercial
Review:

A mixture of traditional horror and fantasy motifs, with a flying saucer thrown in for good measure. The princess Sabrina lies ensorcelled in a vampire's castle, and will die at dawn unless you can rescue her. Features graphics that get stroked in as you watch, and which were considered quite good in their day. Fairly small, two-word parser, easy puzzles, monsters that wander around at random, and a time limit on the whole game. The original documentation is unavailable, but the off-disk copy protection is contained in the file trans.clue. There are at least two versions of this game, with some slight differences in the puzzles.

Rating: **
