Synopsis

Plot

You play the role of Victor Frankenstein's great nephew. You have received an urgent phone call to visit the family mansion, which has been allowed to fall into a state of neglect for many years.

It is a cold winter's morning and you are now standing on the steps of the boarded-up mansion. "What am I here for?", you ask yourself as you look at the note pinned to the door.

Notes

Appears to be a (presumably unauthorised) port of the 1980/1 John R. Olsen game Frankenstein Adventure with some additional tweaks and locations.

Steve's version of the game was originally published in Amstrad CPC 464 User magazine, issue 5, April 1985, pp. 59-60, 62, 64, 66-67.

In the original listing, the middle of line 290 to the middle of line 380 were missing. This was acknowledged in issue 6, May 1985, p. 49, but no correction was printed. Instead, you had to send a stamped addressed envelope to the editors for the correction. Fortunately, one of the Internet archives had the full version, but with other errors that weren't in the original. It is possible to take the original magazine listing plus the missing lines from the Internet listing to cobble together a "correct" version. Unfortunately, it still has several bugs.

Steve seems to have later ported the game to the Plus 4, as The Monster Returns in a type-in listing in Your Commodore, issue 22 from July 1986.

Note: Large sections of this game were used in one of Steve's other (earlier published) adventures: The House on Misty Hill.
