Cranston Manor is a graphic adventure published for the Apple II by On-Line Systems in 1981 and is Hi-Res Adventure #3.[1] The player must invade a mansion that was occupied by a millionaire and steal the sixteen treasures that are inside of it.[1] The game allows players to switch between graphics-based and text-based gameplay.[1]

Cranston Manor is based on Larry Ledden's text adventure The Cranston Manor Adventure. The graphical version was programmed by Ledden, Ken Williams, and Harold DeWitz.[2]

Development

Larry Ledden wrote The Cranston Manor Adventure as text-only interactive fiction for the Atari 8-bit computers. It was published by Artworx in 1981. Sierra On-Line acquired the rights from Ledden to create a graphical version which was published as Cranston Manor for the Apple II. Ledden was paid royalties, but did not receive credit in Sierra's version.[3]
