Haunted House is a 1982 adventure game programmed by James Andreasen for the Atari Video Computer System and published by Atari, Inc. The player controls a character presented by a pair of eyes peering in the dark as they explore a mansion seeking out parts of an urn to return to the entrance. The game world is populated by roaming enemies including vampire bats, tarantulas, and a ghost. Haunted House was among the first games to use player-controlled scrolling between large portions of the visual space.
Runs well on modern hardware.
