In GHOST CHASER you will meet Harry the Ghost Chaser and a host
of strange adversaries as you explore the 16 different rooms of
mysterious  Fairport Manor.  Points  are scored  each time  you
blast  the  various Phantom Ghosts which materialise at random.
The  only way to capture these spirits is to find your way into
the  treasure room.  Scattered throughout  the manor  are eight
keys.  As you  find and  collect these  keys, additional  doors
open  allowing you  to go  deeper  and deeper  into the  manor.
Watch  out  for the many  tricky obstacles and above all, avoid
contact  with anything  that moves! They'll send shivers up and
down your spine!
