Charming by softi

Been a while since I was on here just don't have time these days to do what I want but I have a question.

Does anyone remember this game? It was a memory match game in the first part where you picked from a grid two cards and if they matched you kept the item, then in the second part of the game you made your way across screen to rescue the princess where you could either use the items from part one to defeat ghouls, and other baddies or you could raid the graves for treasure. I used to have this game but no longer and have been eying to source it for years. It was in tibasic and released by softi around 1984/5.

Cheers for any help.

I was intrigued by this, so i did some looking:

i haven't been able to locate anything so far, but maybe one of our data hoarders know of it.

I still got that copy of HCW the review was in that's the reason I got the game back then. From what I remember it was a decent basic game. Pretty sure you could only raid graves if you matched the shovels in the first part. Oh and I'm sure there is a vampire where you needed holy water and garlic to defeat. Infact the second part played a bit like zombie mambo part one in the graveyard.

I wish I could remember it all because I would try and program it in basic.

By the way if anyone is interested I am doing the doctor who adventure which was in C&VG magazine for the Atari 800 in ti basic, I reckon another week or so and it should be done. I've added a few differences to the original as well. When it's finished I will put a disk image on here.
