/vr/ - Retro Games

Didn't roll any ADV game yet. One one hand probably not too shocking, the 88 and 98 were better options when that genre started to emerge in Japan. Still they exist and this is '83s Ninja Mansion by Xtalsoft. They'd go on to make some influential home market RPGs before fizzling out financially.

The input is done via text parser, interestingly enough however all the commands (verb-noun) are in English. It generally checks the first 2 characters of any word only. This doesn't work for search though as see exists, so I guess it makes an exception for search.
The graphics are all wireframe and the ninja mansion isn't richly decorated. What is interesting is that it does have graphics for an open cabinet/door/safe/wall and it will redraw the screen to show them.

As for the goal, you have to make your way through the mansion, evade the traps and steal a scroll. You'll get richly rewarded with 3000 ryō (old currency) if you manage it.
There's 2 floors, each with numerous rooms. There's mention by others that some rooms on the 1st floor are randomized, but it's not like I rebooted to check. You search and inspect cabinets, walls, tables, lamps to get the items you need to progress. It's a small game, so there aren't many. You'll ultimately make a bomb to blow open the safe and get the scroll. You still need to make your way out though, after which the game ends after showing your reward.
