Known for her devastating cleavage and Valley Girl affect, Elvira follows in the footsteps of such late night luminaries as Vampira and Ghoulardi.Įlvira is featured prominently on the title screen of Personal Nightmare, and Horrorsoft published two Elvira RPGs shortly after Personal Nightmare.

I may even remove it from the list entirely if my attempts to play it are as fruitless as this.īefore moving on to Personal Nightmare itself, it’s incumbent upon me to mention that Horror Soft hitched its wagon to the shooting star that was Elvira, the Mistress of the Dark ( nee Cassandra Peterson), hostess of the B-movie clearing house Movie Macabre from the early ’80’s. This, of course, meant using the extra pixels to represent more faithful and accurate gore.Īnother Horror Soft game, Waxworks, shows up a little bit later on the list, and I’m dreading it already. A sub-label of Adventure Soft Ltd., Horror Soft was a venue for adventure games that could take advantage of the graphical capabilities of modern Amiga, Atari ST, and DOS machines. Personal Nightmare was published by Horror Soft Ltd. But Personal Nightmare maybe wasn’t meant to be beaten or understood, and I’d rather write about a game than repeatedly be devoured by ghouls in a fruitless attempt to complete it.

Anyone who has heard me obsess over The List can attest to my desire to be thorough. Ideally, the Hex Crank experiment will result in an assembly of Complete Survival Horror Experience.

This is an uncomfortable precedent to set.
