Adventure #4: Voodoo Castle is one of the text adventure games that were originally written by Scott Adams for the TRS-80 Model 1, using a two word VERB NOUN text parser (it had to fit in 16K RAM originally). This one was originally released in 1979, and ported to the Coco by June 1983 by . Later a patched version came out to support the Coco 2B (with the T1 derivative of the VDG (Video Display Generator) chip, which featured true lowercase letters. This also works with the Coco 3. The game also supports saving and restoring a game in progress.
Voodoo Castle was rated by the company as a Moderate skill adventure game. In this adventure the player has to remove a curse place upon Count Cristo (whom the player finds in a coffin right at the beginning of the game). The game also features a dedication at the beginning to "all moms!" from it's author Alexis Adams, who is Scott Adams' wife and business partner.
NOTE: By August of 1983, Adventure International was offering Tri-Pack adventures for both the Coco and the Atari 8 bits; these offered 3 adventures for 1 lower price. The packs were Adventures 1-3, Adventures 4-6, Adventures 7-9 and Adventures 10-12.
