Creature Venture

You have just inherited your evil uncle Starbuck’s regal mansion, but unfortunately your uncle had been an eccentric sort with a long fascination with the occult. Uncle Starbuck had made a personal deal with Lucifer, and had been summoning denizens of the underworld to do his bidding. Your uncle possessed a magic lamp to help fend off the Lucifer’s minions, but it was to no avail, for Lucifer took his life, and Starbuck’s great wealth was hidden throughout the surrounding countryside.

As Starbuck’s heir, your job is to reclaim his lamp and his great wealth, while defeating the monstrous horde which guards his treasures.

This is an early black and white adventure game using a VERB NOUN parser. It features several animated sequences. Your goal is to explore the area around uncle Starbuck’s mansion and gather a variety of treasures.
