Harry and the Haunted House!!!
Added 2014-06-05 19:23:37 +0000 UTCYesterday I was desperately searching for an old game I used to play in elementary school. All I remember about it is that there was a statue in the hub world that you were trying to bring to life. As you complete levels, the statue would become colorful. An arm. A leg. Eventually his head, and you win when he's completely back to life. That's all I remember. Anyway, I was scouring the internet, diving into the deepest depths of old computer gaming, and consistently coming up empty. Ultimately, I still don't know what that game is. If anyone has any clues, let me know. But my search was not entirely fruitless. HARRY AND THE MO'FUCKIN' HAUNTED HOUSE. I was scrolling through a website that listed a number of old educational games, and spotted the thumbnail. This is probably one of the earliest games that I have a clear memory of playing, and I'd totally forgotten it. But once I saw the thumbnail, the memories came flooding back. I don't know when, and I don't know how, but I have GOT to try and do a video on this game. It's part of the 'Living Books' series, which is exactly what it sounds like. There's no gameplay aside from clicking on random stuff, like in the Humongous Entertainment games. Unlike the HE games, though, you don't have objectives and you can't explore the environment at all. This is just a virtual story book. Making a video over something like this can't be done in my usual format, but I feel so compelled to tackle this game somehow, I've got to try and come up with something. Harry and the Haunted House, man. Those were the days.
