Moonmist
Walkthrough by Bruce A. Smith
Moonmist takes place in a haunted castle in England. Your goal is to find out who is doing the haunting and why, as well as to find a hidden treasure. There are four versions of the game (blue, red, green, and yellow), each with a different treasure and culprit. Those of you who were stumped on games like Deadline and Suspect may find this game more to your liking. The start of the game, as spelled out below, can be played the same way for all four versions (although the responses to your typed entries may change). Once you have completed the "Dining Room" section below, switch over to the color that corresponds to the version you're playing.
