Midnight Mason

Entertainment

It's the grave yard shift and you're behind schedule.
Better get to work repairing the walls of the old Refectory.
But what's this? Some very hungry varmints intend on keeping you from finishing your shift.
Climb, run, build and break through walls on this merry chase as you try to collect your tools
 before the ghosts collect you.

Peripheral Requirements: Joysticks recommended.

MIDNITE MASON: Software Specialties - Released 1983 - MSRP $29.95
 -- One of the Glen Groves assembly language games written while he was doing business as Software Specialties in Evergreen, Colorado. Midnite Mason is very much a clone of the then popular Lode Runner game released for other computers, that never found its way to the TI99/4A market. In the game, which was available on both cartridge or disk, you are a forgetful mason who has left his tools all over the building that you are working in. You go back to collect the tools, but the building is haunted and the clock has struck midnight. The goal is to gather as many tools as you can before becoming ghostly ghoulash.
 Other games of a similar theme that were released for the TI-99/4A included TI-Runner from EB Software (later released by Bill Moseid's DaTaBioTics as Star Runner) and Miner 2049er from Tigervision in Mundelein, IL.
