Vampyre Hunter

An adventure. A vampire terrorizes a small village in the mountains of eastern Europe, and the townspeople have fled. Explore the empty village, gather what you need, make stakes, then enter the old castle, find the vampire's coffin and drive a stake into him while he sleeps, or keep him from his coffin until the sun rises. A picture of each place sits above the story, with the day and the time always shown. Outside, you choose a verb and a noun from a menu to give each command. Inside the castle you walk its four floors, dark without a lantern, past rats and bats that bite. Watch the clock, your hunger and your weariness, deal with the wolves and a dog, and beware: at night the vampire walks the castle and hunts you.

Controls: Use either joystick. Outside, push up and down to choose a verb or a noun, push right or press the left button to move to the nouns, press the left button to carry out the command and the right button to go back. In the castle, the stick walks one step a push, the left button opens the menu and the right button closes it.
