Description
                     The Secret Of Bastow Manor


You stand on the misty moors outside the walls of the Bastow Manor.
Old man Bastow has disappeared, or so the story goes, leaving rumours of
his great wealth hidden somewhere in the Manor.
The baying of the hounds from behind the walls brings to mind tales of
wandering ghosts and hidden traps.
Can you find the treasure, solve the mystery......and live!
