When i was growing up, my Dad worked at Xerox PARC and on some of the early Alto projects. He would bring me and my brother to the office on weekends and we would get to play on these computers (mostly MazeWar). We played a text adventure game called Haunt, that I have been trying to find again for 35+ years now. Has anyone here possibly heard of the game Haunt???
- kens 10y agoIs this the game you played: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAUNT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HAUNT It's written in OPS5, a rule system built on Lisp, so I imagine it would be straightforward to get it running. Source code: http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/source/haunt.ops5 http://www.ifarchive.org/if-archive/games/source/haunt.ops5
- pdw 10y agoThough that's the source code of the incomplete port. On twenex.org you can play what seems to be the full game (only preserved in binary form.) There's supposed to be more info on http://wiki.twenex.org/tutorials:haunt http://wiki.twenex.org/tutorials:haunt but that server is down at the moment.
- charn3 10y agoThanks guys, yes this is the game I was looking for. I am going to keep trying twenex.org for a while and see if the site comes back up. I really appreciate the info!
- charn3 10y agoI ended up making an account at twenex.org and looking at the games. It appears they took Haunt off of the games list. Anyway, thanks again for the help!
