Subject: TRS-80 Haunted House Computer Game!
Written By: zippo on 07/09/03 at 05:31 p.m.
Who ever played this game for the Radio Shack Trash-80?
I mean, TRS-80.
I could never finish this game. I always got stuck by the final ghost upstairs in the house that ya couldn't kill.
Anyone know the secret to beating this game?
Let me know. I have always been baffled by this. Pyramid was a fun text game for the TRS-80 too.

Hehe it wasnt a game system but one of the first personal computers! also nicknamed the "Trash" - 80 it was built for Tandy Radio Shack (hint the TRS). I never played haunted house on the TRS 80s but I had an Atari-400 with a 300 baud cradle modem! The nice thing about the atari-400 is that it could accept cartridges and the games looked much better than those on the 2600 game system. Games seemed to be more prevelent on the Apple computers than any other PCs at the time. That is untill the IBM clones came into thier own with the advent of the 386 chip and soundblaster soundcards. Since then, Clones have been the number 1 gaming machine of all time (unless you count all the upgrades you have to do to play the latest games)
