The Haunted Adventure Trilogy is a collection of the following Atari 2600 hacks:
- Haunted Adventure - Boo! (Enhanced!)
- Haunted Adventure II - Redemption (Enhanced!)
- Haunted Adventure III - Witch's Flight (New!)
The first two games are modifications of Nukey Shay's 8KAdvent (itself a hack of Adventure) and Haunted Adventure III is a hack of John Dunn's Superman. These are sophisticated hacks that will keep you busy for some time! Accompanying the game is a 52-page manual, the largest by far that we've ever included with a homebrew or hack!
A description of each of the games follows:

I haven't touched the original Adventure since I got this cart. It's better in every way, and much more fun than most of the later Adventure hacks to boot.
If you like Adventure, this is two of the best conversions (they are much more than hacks) ever made, plus a nice little Superman hack to round it off, though the third game is nowhere near as good as the first two.
Great cart, and two very deep games to boot.
This here is a complete value pack that you simply can't go wrong with. It's two complete Adventure hacks (so well done they seem more like brand new games), plus one Superman hack on one cartridge, which places its value much higher than its current price. If you consider yourself an Adventure fan (and/or a Superman fan), you simply can't do without it. It's one of the rarities in that you can sit and play it for longer than most Atari titles, and also find yourself coming back for more. And if that wasn't enough, there's an easter egg contest thrown in to boot! That oughta keep you busy for a while.
So do yourself a favour and buy it. I guarantee that the only problem you'll have with this game is coming up with new and inventive excuses for not showing up at work every day.
