Cranston Manor Adventure © 1981 Artworx Soft. Co.

A text adventure game that takes place in a deserted mansion. The mansion is full of treasure but also many strange and dangerous creatures. The objective of the game is simply to find the mansion and get all the treasure (sixteen in total) out of the house which will lead to a perfect score being given. The player explores the house with the use of an android which is controlled by typing in two word commands made up of verbs and nouns such as 'go north' and 'get crowbar'.

TRIVIA

Later, the famous company Sierra On-Line acquired the rights from Ledden to create a graphical version of the game which was published as "Hi-Res Adventure #3: Cranston Manor" for the Apple II. Ledden was paid royalties, but did not receive credit in Sierra's version.
