Uninvited

Streamed from September 13 to October 4, 2022

Uninvited is a horror-themed adventure game developed by ICOM Simulations and released on 1986 for Macintosh. It was part of the MacVenture series, some of the earliest point-and-click adventure games. They include some novel game mechanics like drag-and-drop inventory items, and containers that are illustrated using standard Mac windows. Many of the MacVenture games were later ported to the Nintendo Entertainment System, with a simplified interface better suited to a game controller.

Last week I finished Uninvited for Macintosh! We learned I’m a terrible person but I did get a certificate of congratulations for rescuing my little brother. So anyway let’s… play it again? But this time for the Nintendo Entertainment System! Note: there’s a skip at around 15 minutes where I removed 20 minutes of trying and failing to get a controller to work with the game.
