MYSTERY OF MUNROE MANOR

Walk Through by Dorothy Millard (C64 Version)

 

 

Notes

  1. This game is identical to Case of the Mad Mummy.
  2. In the C64 Version due to a "bug" in the original program when you HOLD ANKH in the graveyard you are told that the ghosts shriek and disappear, but in fact nothing happens and it is not possible to progress past this point unless playing a "fixed" version.
