Synopsis

Come along on a creepy adventure to far-off places. Battle giants. Find treasures. Make oatmeal.

While on a vacation to Scotland, you fall asleep reading about the human-eating giant that supposedly used to terrorise old castle towns. In your dream, you find yourself in the banquet hall of an abandoned castle. You are very cold and hungry. If you don't build a fire soon, you will die.

Notes

This game was originally written by John H Doolittle in Turbo BASIC for PCs circa 1990 and used in his 'Scientific Thinking in Psychology' classes when he was a professor of psychology at California State University, Sacramento.

It was ported to ZBasic by Eric Thornton and released commercially by Critical Thinking Press as game 3 in the 'Adventures in Danger!' trilogy. The Apple II release was in 1992. There may have also been a Macintosh release.

The original author continued to update the game until 1996 and released the Turbo BASIC source code in 2023.
