It’s dark and creepy ... not the kind of night to be lurking in a sematary, but that’s where you are!
This is a tribute to the awesome USBORNE code listed game books of the 80s, particularly Grave Digger, by Alan Ramsey, published on Creepy Computer Games. It also praises the superb artistic talent of Rob McCaig, author of the said book´s illustrations. Thank you chaps for your work contributed into making me what I am.
Grave Digger Ex is a turn-based strategy game where you have to escape the sematary unscared. While doing so, vandalize tombs and disturb the undead as they might still be carrying values, but beware of time, find the gate key and run before it´s too late. Your trusty shovel can break tombs, hit the undead and dig holes, use it very wisely.
