Since I originally reviewed this one back in 2002 (!) I decided to give this homebrew another look this Halloween. It's actually pretty cool in design but very undercooked. With some polish I think this game could be a winner.
My question is, did anyone ever go back and improve it? Or is my 2002 copy still the latest and greatest? Is there a manual?
I noticed the game suffers from a lot of electromagnetic interference, causing the screen to have a lot of static. I wonder if it's due to the way it was produced? Maybe I should open the cart and make sure nothing is loose.
Thoughts?

That release is all you get. Although John Swiderski / Mean Hamster renamed the game later on to Scary Mansion II 3D.
There's a rumor of a 7800 follow up called Ominous Tenement III. J/ K

Is the Atari 7800 game available? I've never heard of it.

I put a J/K after that statement about the 7800 rumor, which is short for "Just Kidding".
But it's a good idea....
