About

Castle of Doom is a text adventure with graphics that show corridors from a first person perspective. The objective of the game is to find and kill a vampire called Count Doom. The adventure starts in the House of Doom which the player has to find a way out from. It contains 27 locations and is followed by the Doom Town which has a further 36 locations. Finally the player has to enter the Castle of Doom which has another 27 locations.

Like in other text adventures the game is played by entering verb noun commands. When entering a location the player first sees a full screen view of it and upon pressing the space bar a text prompt appears where commands can be entered. On the text screen the player can also see directions that can be moved in as well as objects that can be interacted with. All objects are randomly places around the locations. Using the look command redraws the image while the listen command gives information about the location's sound. If stuck, a help command can be used for a hint.
