Okay, all of a sudden I remember a game I bought on a 5.25 inch floppy disc, I got it at a discount grocery store, it was some type of mass market (possibly re-production?) series of games, they had several games, I think they were in purple packaging, one in particular was a haunted house game.

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

When? What type of game was it?

tinyE: When? What type of game was it?
This was probably in 1994, the game was some type of action/platformer?

I don't remember it really well, in fact it might not have even worked on my computer, I might be remembering the pictures on the packaging.

Dangerous Dave, perhaps?

Thanks, but that's definitely not the game.

I don't remember the game looking quite like this... this almost reminds me of King's Quest 3 & 4, however something about the packaging really rings a bell, "Just type Wiz". Maybe it was this game, or maybe I had one of these Wiz games back then...

Monster Bash?

Nope, I don't think it was Monster Bash.



The only thing that rang a bell was tinyE's post.

You can buy the games here - http://www.dgray.com/hwpage.htm

I can't remember if I or other rights' researchers already did this in the past, but earlier today I sent fresh information on Hugo to Turnipslayerr, so it might be possible the games will show up here. (The fact that these games have a few hundred wishlist votes is definitely a positive.)
