Old man Cranston trusted no one. He accumulated his immense wealth
through questionable means. Before being dragged to his grave by cancer, he hid
his treasures on his estate. Now it is suspected he still haunts the mansion and
grounds guarding his treasure. You are in the deserted town of Coarsegold, which
was strangled to death through old man Cranston's greed and plotting. You are
determined to enter Cranston Manor, find the treasures and put them outside the
gates so they can be used to rejuvinate Coarsegold. You have a list of the 16
treasures old man Cranston stole and hid, but it is not legible. Cranston
Mansion was #3 in On-Line System's "Hi-Res Adventures" series, after Mystery
House and The Wizard and the Princess. Unlike most adventure games of its time,
Cranston lets you switch between graphic and text modes. You perform actions in
the game by only typing a one- or two-word command (eg: WEST, GET SHOVEL) , and
you can save the game at any point in the game by inserting a disk and pressing
a letter. The PC version is very rare. |
