The Haunting of Gale’s Rest – A ghost story adventure for the ZX Spectrum
ABOUT THE ZX SPECTRUM 48K GAME
THE HOUSE THAT WEEPS ( or The Haunting of Gale’s Rest ) was another tricky adventure game to develop for the ZX Spectrum 48K.
But I was expecting it to be as this time I really wanted to create
some sort of interactive ghost story or haunted house novel and so it
was tricky to add puzzles that could be solved without a sepecific order
and still guide the player inside the narrative. But it was fun to do.
As
always, none of my GAC games follow a strictly linear path—I strive to
create an actual open-world experience, even within the constraints of a
48K ZX Spectrum.
Of the mere 21K available for each adventure I program, at least 19K
is dedicated to structuring the game itself, leaving me with only 2K,
sometimes 3K or 4K if I’m lucky, to create the graphics.
