Escape from Monster Manor

About

This is the official source-code release of Escape from Monster Manor (EFMM), a 3DO game written in 1993 in about six months by the credited author and a small team (additional programming, sound, and art credits are listed in the README). Only the engine code is included — level data and art assets are not present — but the author reports it compiled successfully using a resurrected copy of the original ARM Norcroft compiler.

History

EFMM was written in 1993 while the author worked at New Technologies Group (NTG) and was published by Electronic Arts; when NTG was later acquired by 3DO and 3DO went bankrupt in 2003, its assets — including EFMM's rights — were sold off, and the author says it's unclear who currently holds the copyright.
