Editor note

The title is a reference to a partially 3D* black and white movie titled "13 Ghosts" made in 1960. However, the game is not based on the film. (Apparently the ghosts, but not the actors or scenes, could been seen in 3D in anaglyph prints of the film)

Check out the video. Not impressed? Well, maybe you didn't know the TRS-80 had no sound, not even a beeping speaker, and no sound cards. The music and sound effects heard in the video are the interference one would hear if the placed an AM radio near the TRS-80 while playing this game. The game is also visually impressive for TRS-80.
