In 1987, polish computer magazine Bajtek published a listing of a computer game called "Stary Dom" ("Old House") authored by Wojciech Zientara. Simple text game written in basic that everyone could type in and play on 8 bit Atari computer. Rumor says game was inspired by another game publish earlier for ZX Spectrum in some magazine.
Remake
In 2019 bocianu has converted the game into MAD-Pascal. Game has been enhanced with title screen, graphics and music. Besides polish version now it was also available in english.
Game was still intended for 8bit Atari computers.
Port
In 2024 I have decided to make a conversion to Commander X16. In order to do that I had to prepare and update MAD-Pascal so it could build code for Commander X16.
Old Mansion does not utilize all of capabilities of X16 but it is fun to play.
Game is written in MAD-Pascal.
Source code is available on https://github.com/MADRAFi/OldMansion
F10 turns off music while on title screen.
I would like to thank X16 community for helping me port this game.
