Rosemary West's House of Fortunes

DOS - 1993

One of Villa Crespo's most unknown games, Rosemary West's House of Fortunes is a good fortune teller program for DOS that packs a lot of options into a few floppy disks.

The 'game' contains 4 traditional divining methods to deliver predictions based on your birthdate: astrology, I Ching, Tarot cards, and numerology. Even though I have very little interest in fortune telling, I couldn't help but appreciate the amount of time, effort, and research that apparently went into the creation of this neat little program. The graphics are attractive (in hi-res VGA, a mode that is not seen in many games), the predictions are detailed and can be printed if you would like to keep a hard copy, and the mouse-based interface is very easy to use. If you have only a passing interest in various fortune telling disciplines, give this obscure underdog a try. Even if you are a skeptic like me, you will find the depth and breadth of its features both interesting and fun. And yes, I'm aware that fortune telling is not exactly "educational" - but I have decided to put this in the education genre anyway, considering the interesting subject matter :)

They must have known somehow. With the use of the full name and the infamous "House of.." together it can't be coincidence. Additional to this, it is a fortune-telling game. The fact that fortune-telling involves the divining of the future makes it even more suspicious when the year of release is taken into account. The West's first had their property searched in 1992.

When this came out, Fred and Rose's serial killing careers were still going on. They were just about to get caught. Hideous timing.

Oh god. I assume whoever made this obviously had no idea about UK serial killer of the same name.

Suppose it's gotta be better that Rose & Fred West's house of misfortunes. Unless you like the whole tie up, torture and kill type of thing.
