Yeah, I know the graveyard glitch. The game still runs fine, you just can't see the picture. Therefore, you pretend its all text-based.
Type "look" to get the full description of the area.
Click the "Room" button to see if there are any items lying around.
Type random sentences that describe actions doable in a graveyard

Killed vampire but it crashes when you open the vicarage door on the black screen. This game worked on Dos 5 when I played it in 1990 at uni.

BTW, the programmer who wrote the engine is 'alun cox' who now helps maintain the linux kernel. He worked with horrorsoft as work experience from swansea university in 1989.

I can see the intro and the initial credits... then some gray lines appear and the game crashes.
Any idea on how to make it work?

Personally, my favorite adventure on Amiga, ever !

You can rationalize about its graphic today, but this game has unbelievable atmosphere within.
Almost like the real thing. So many details.

I would love to find good old original for Amiga again.

For life of me , I can't quite recall, how do you initiate conversation with folks inside the game?
Some reminders please?

I remember there was a several funny things you could do, something developers certainly hardly planned

For example, while escaping from a vampire, if you initiated conversation just before last screen when
you are about to manage to escape, waited just a second longer… you spoke with him just as you would
when he was civilian over the day


Great days, great machines, pronouncing present oblivion of creativity that places bitter taste today.

This version is the CGA/EGA early release(only 5.25 inch disks). I played the VGA version in early 1991, it came on 3.5inch disks on dos (it seems impossible to find this version on the internet) and it didn't have the cemetery black screen crash.

I even checked the back of my Atari ST box of this game and it shows a 2 screenshot of the PC version in EGA and VGA-256.
