Of the 2 missing ones, number 9 is probably the forklift, and number 16 is probably cutting the wire in the Large Chamber.

The use of sound effects was just the right amount of "multimedia" for The Lurking Horror.StillGaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18366215127642090500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274560874062585311.post-70754358428660276862012-01-07T09:40:30.067-08:002012-01-07T09:40:30.067-08:00This was my favourite Infocom game, probably becau...This was my favourite Infocom game, probably because it was the first one I played, at age 12, on my new Atari ST.
