About Lighthouse Mystery
This text adventure game (interactive fiction) was originally written by Mark Eaton and Barrie Eaton on the Amstrad back in 1988.
YOUR OBJECTIVE: Others have gone mad in seeking the lost pirates treasure alleged to be hidden deep within the catacombs. Will you be the one to find it?
This game is easier in skill level when compared to 'Mystery of the Dark Manor'. As such it can be a good first text adventure game for those new in this genre.
This Android edition tries hard to keep the original quality of that game, but at the same time provide features available from Android.
Hyperlink assist provides smart context menus as an alternative to using the keyboard.
A graphical inventory system so that you can see and tap what you are carrying.
As such there are 2 styles of play:
1. Play the game just by tapping
2. Play with the more retro style of using the keyboard
An automap will track your location progress. Can easily view by tapping the map icon. Landscape mode will show a minature version of the automap.
Can use gestures. Use arrowheads to move north or south, and use a swipe to move east or west.
Tap on an image to 'look' at your current location.
Tap on the descriptive text to close the keyboard if open.
Speech input is available to issue commands.
Can also have the text read aloud.
Font size can also be adjusted based on small, medium or large.
Also extensively designed for the visually impaired. Have fully tested with Talkback using Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) from start to end with my eyes shut! Type "blind" in game to learn more.

This takes a lot of work but is worth it!

Great apps. Love the old adventure games. Played them back in the 80's. Still love them. You did a great job on these making them easy to use on a phone. I bought all of them. Great deal. I would buy any more you make. Thanks!!

I usually hate these games but the way the developers added the hyperlinks and map made it much more appealing. I would like to play more games like this. Took about an hour to finish. Good introduction to this type of game.
