TV-Type Switch

The tv-type switch acts as a PAUSE GAME feature. Positioning the tv-type switch to b/w will pause the creature and player movements. Changing the switch to color will resume game play.

Skill Levels Warning: Do not read if you want to figure out Return To Haunted House(TM) for yourself!

Choose the Skill Level you wish to play by depressing the GAME SELECT switch. To begin play, depress the GAME RESET switch.

If you are killed by one of the ghosts, you can use the powerful force known only as reset. Just depress the game reset switch and your life force will be returned to you and you will materialize back on the first floor of the haunted house. Unfortunately, any ghosts you may have banished will also return to haunt the mansion. If you were carrying any object with you, it will remain where it was.

If you have finished one game and wish to begin another, depress either the game reset or the game select switch. The number of the skill level at which you were playing will appear on the television screen. Depress the game reset switch and begin play.

Level 1 Floor Plan

This is the simplest Skill Level. When you depress the GAME RESET switch to begin play, you will be on the first floor and see the shovel that you can use to dig up the grave in the cemetery. Travel northward and west to find the Sub Basement and the Cemetery. Dig up the grave with the shovel and enter. You will find the scepter inside the crypt, but it is not immediately reachable. Travel westward to the tunnels under the house. Beware of ghosts haunting the house. You will need the ladder to retrieve the scepter. The key to the dark cavern under the house may be guarded in the tunnels by a ghost. Other ghosts are doomed to float about, haunting the mansion or guarding the cursed skull, which is hidden with the dismembered hand inside the dark cavern past the tunnels.

Level 2 Floor Plan

This house is much larger than Level 1.

First Floor

The game begins in a previously unexplored portion of the first floor. As you progress through the house, all new areas lead downward.

The Basement

The first new area you will encounter is the basement. The lights have long since gone out and you must rely on your own light source to traverse this area. Finding your way westward and down takes you to...

The Cellar

door are stairs leading down to...
