A sort of Gauntlet-style action game.
"CD-ROM shareware discs were common back in those days, just discs full of shareware games for like $10 or so, and Space Cadet and Mystery Mansion were both featured on one of those discs (I want to say "Game Head" volume 4 or something like that). I wasn't paid for it, but I remember being very proud of it at the time."

Story
You, brave adventurer, are heading home when suddenly, you see the old Gatson estate. You know its been condemned for decades and has no electricity, water, heat, and a "NO TRESPASSING! VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED" sign, but there is a light on and a little silhouette of a man.
You, being brave and bold, journey to the mansion door to see who is up there and for what purpose. What you find behind the front door is something totally unexpected.
Instructions
The control of Barry the Brave is very simple. Use the arrow keys or joystick to move him around. The fire keys is space bar or button one on the Joystick.
You can collect bonuses along the way to help you. There are three total bonuses. Garlic, a cross, and a steak will help you. Good luck!
