Funhouse Mystery

Overview

Funhouse Mystery is a text-adventure game originally written and coded by Scott Adams and published by Adventure International in 1979. The NEC PC-88 version was released in 1985 by StarCraft for the Japanese audiences, though the game still supports English commands.

You are a secret agent tasked to retrieve some secret plans that have been stolen and hidden somewhere inside a fun house. Once inside it, you have to solve several puzzles, such as navigate through a maze, a shooting gallery, a merry-go-round, and charm a friendly mermaid.

Main differences from the original western releases are:

-The game parser won't recognize some commands that work on the original version;

- Graphics;

- Some objects such as the flashlight and the secret plans are different but they serve the same purpose.

- The map layout is somewhat different.
