Spook House and Toxic Dumpsite The game Spook House ? Toxic Dumpsite is a double feature adventure. Each adventure is unique and separate program for you to solve and explore. Both adventures also use an early form of interactive fiction with a graphics style interface. Each game also incorporates a real-time clock element of 30 minutes.

In Toxic Dumpsite a major problem has occurred at the nuclear waste disposal plant. You are trapped inside and must figure out how to prevent a nuclear disaster before containment systems fail. You have 30 minutes to complete the task and the clock is ticking.

The second adventure in this double feature is Spook House which you have been abducted and locked inside an abandon carnival spook house. A bomb has been set for 30 minutes and you must figure out how to defuse the device and escape to freedom.

This graphical interactive fiction game uses a mixture of letter directions N,S,E,W and F,B,L,R (forward, back, left, right) for movement. You can also SAVEGAME your current location for restarting later. The command parser is a somewhat modified verb noun type. [source:mobygames]
