Vampire Village

Published in Home Computing Weekly #42

If you thought being Mayor of Vladsdorf was going to be all beer and skittles then you are in for a rude shock, because fangs ain't what they used to be.

The environmental nuisance in the area happens to be a vampire who has moved into the ruined castle and now threatens your villagers' lives (besides which, I bet he hasn't paid his rates).

Your job is to allocate public funds to the foolhardy volunteers who step forward to try to trap the undead pest, and to direct their efforts from your post high in the hills overlooking Vladsdorf.

Vampire Village

The screen shows a bird's eye view of the village, and you move your volunteers around in search of food, equipment, lodgings and anti-vampire devices before setting across the river into vampire territory.

Don't forget to buy a canoe, or you'll drown!

The game is interesting to start with but I found the pace rather too slow and the graphics are only ordinary.

The same is smartly packed in a superior style library case and operating instructions are straightforward.
