I used to play this NES game, and need help remembering what the title was.

You control a group of teenagers who go to a haunted house to investigate it. You choose one character at a time and navigate him or her through the house to collect clues and investigate strange happenings. If your character is captured, then he or she is placed in a dungeon.

Once your character can't progress any you have to switch to another character and repeat your investigation. Through the combine efforts of each of the teenagers you unlock certain mysteries about the house, which eventually lead to the end of the game.

One distinct thing I remember about the game is that if two of the teenagers are trapped together in the dungeon, then you can have one push a brick in the wall. When you push the brick, it unlocks the door, and if you're fast enough, then you can switch to the other character and walk out.

Also, the game was a command based game. You would control the character and issue commands like push, pull, hold, throw, mix the [object].

If someone knows what game I'm talking about I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Sounds like Maniac Mansion, a Lucasarts game.

Thanks Grahame, that's the one. I couldn't remember the game for the life of me.

I was thinking of Friday the 13th for some reason but I'm not sure if that's what you had in mind.
