Transylvania (Mac OS Classic)

Transylvania
Developer: Penguin Software Publisher: Penguin Software Platform: Mac OS Classic Released in US: May 1984 This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused graphics.

This gothic adventure was ported by Robert Hardy, who gave himself a cameo as the face welcoming new players.

Scrapbook Art

According to Hardy, in the June '84 issue of ST.Mac: "Brian Carter down at my local computer store used MacPaint to draw the wonderful penguins depicted on the banner page of Transylvania. Once he finished the drawings I transferred them via the Scrapbook and pasted them into the resource file of my program."

In fact, Carter's penguins are still present in the Scrapbook, and a comparison shows the touchups they received before the game shipped. Their heads became rounder, some lines were reinforced, and some highlights were reduced.
