The Lurking Horror

Description

(From the Infocom Home Page site)

In The Lurking Horror, you are a student at G.U.E. Tech. You have braved a snowstorm to get to the Computer Center and finish work on an assignment. But the snowstorm has turned into a raging blizzard, and has trapped you in a complex of buildings late at night. You are not alone, fortunely ... or perhaps, unfortunately. Thus you begin the story, unaware that anything may be wrong beneath or within the veneer of the quiet campus.

Trivia

Copy protection for the game required the user to input the correct Student ID number and password into a computer terminal. Don't have the ID card or Student Guide? Try random 9-digit sequences and 9-letter words that don't appear in Webster's. You'll get it eventually, I'm sure.
