Phantasmagoria Sierra On-Line (Sierra)1995This might be an obscure release. As you know, Bob, make distributors, stores, and other software outlets refused to deal with Phantasmagoria sometimes because of the subject matter (violence, gore, sex, rape) but mostly because of the perceived subject matter and the ardent insistence by most anyone except the creators, of this game marketed to adults, was in fact a ploy to corrupt young children (the "M" rating, the screenshots on the back of the box, definitely targeted at young children¡) .

The PH1PATCH.SEA.HQX patch is required to corrects some (not all) of the Unimplemented Trap and System 11 lockup errors that occur when saving at the end of a chapter.

The term [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantasmagoria]Phantasmagoria[/url] comes from a type of theater popular from the late 18th to 19th century. A kind of slideshow magic show, owners of pubs or coffee houses (generally not frequented by children) would use glass and mirrors to project macabre photographs or sculpture onto walls or even seemingly into mid air. Frequent observation by individuals with already questionable metal state could induce the mental condition known as phantasmagoria (remembering seeing while awake, a series of real or imagined macabre images as if in a dream state). One Phantasmagoria operator, and professional physicist, became so good at terrifying people as to convince even the stable-minded that the ghosts, devils, skeletons, and other fantastic terrors he displayed were real and his to command. He was arrested and sued on multiple occasions by patrons and public prosecutors, but especially by competitors. I guess things haven't changed that much.
