Mystery Mansion has been hosted at the Empire Game site at
http:/198.190.228.6/ for 10 months now.  All that is required
is Telnet.

Please advise if you note any problems with the game.

If there were color maps generated for Mystery Mansion,
I'd be willing to post them at the same site.  Or I can
scan hardcopy myself, I promise to return the originals.

James,

I know that Terry and Nanci Floyd did a speech about Mystery Mansion and
Dungeon at the 1983 Interex Conference in Montreal.  Perhaps you can
reference Interex's proceedings to get some history or details.  I'm pretty
sure color maps were created as well, and I can probably find those if
you're interested.


Good Luck,
David H. Floyd
