MYSTERY HOUSE
Adventure - Sierra On-Line, 1980

A true classic and also an important landmark in the history of computer games: this is the first graphic adventure ever created, released in 1980 by Sierra On-Line (On-Line Systems, at the time) for Apple ][+ computers.

In 1987, Mystery House was released into the public domain to celebrate Sierra's 7th anniversary.

Written by Ken and Roberta Williams, founders of Sierra On-Line, Mystery House takes place in an old mansion, full of mysteries and where a fortune in jewels is hidden. The treasure will belong to who can find it and many people are interested, including you! The search begins, so do the murders - someone is not playing fair and you must figure out who it is, before the next victim is you.

After this game, Roberta Williams has dedicated to write the well-known King's Quest series, but she had never put aside the mystery and murder adventures, having written also Colonel's Bequest and, more recently, the interactive movie Phantasmagoria.
