A classic text based game created by Dave Lebling of Zork fame. The Lurking Horror was a brilliant, thought provoking, and memorable game with one hell of an atmosphere. The Amiga version had sounds which brought some of the words and world to life. From the Wiki: "The Lurking Horror is an interactive fiction computer game released by Infocom in 1987. The game was written by Dave Lebling and inspired by the horror writings of H. P. Lovecraft (including his Cthulhu Mythos). Like most of Infocom's games, it was released for several platforms simultaneously thanks to the portable Z-machine." "The original release included versions for DOS, the Apple II, Atari ST, Atari 8-bit family and Commodore 64. Later, it was ported to the Amiga with the addition of sound effects, making it the first title with that feature. The effects would play at appropriate times in the game in an effort to intensify the horror atmosphere. This marked one of the few major additions to the Z-machine with the exception of graphics; traditionally, Infocom had eschewed such changes in favor of expanding the parser capacity and overall size of game files." "Despite its relatively high sales figures, Lurking Horror was the only horror game ever released by Infocom. It is Infocom's twenty-sixth game. Infocom rated it as "Standard" in terms of difficulty." The Lurking Horror in action:www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOCUwOvEVjo

While reading mid-1990s issues of Next Generation I ran across this game in their Top 100 Games of All Time and was very intrigued by the writeup they did on it. I definitely would pick this game up and try it out if it becomes available.

It appears the Return button does not provide proper spacing functionality. Sorry for the clusterbleep. Pick up=boulder. What do you want to do with boulder? Throw boulder at computer. Can't do that boulder is too heavy. Look at=boulder. Boulder appears slightly wet and coated in a thick moss. Lick boulder. Can't do that. Cut=thick moss. Cut thick moss with what? Cut thick moss with scissors and smoke it. Can't do that.
