Pretty unique platformer, characterized by a horror atmosphere, and flip screens crowded with monsters, ghosts and freaks of all kind. You can collect bullets and revolvers, and use'em.

All snapshots are spoiled.
Game hungs after reaching higher than nefarious dream.
Trees' branches are looking like cut to shreds.
I played the original version many years ago. There was no shreds on branches.

This bug appeared after game had been cracked by magic button.
It spoiled valuable memoty regions.

I'm looking for original, 100% working version.

Everybody likes a good dream! But, if you're anything like me, chances are that any dreams you do have will quickly be corrupted by the gruesome sights you've been witnessing playing too many horror games..and will become bad dreams! This is exactly the type of predicament you find yourself in at the start of this platformer....

This particular nightmare is filled with all manner of spooky specimens. Werewolves, ghosts, skeletons, vampires, mummies...all these and more are after your soul! You must advance time to try and wake yourself up from this deadly dream, otherwise you might just find it to be a bit more dangerous than your usual night terrors!

This game has always confused me! On the one hand, it asks you to wake yourself up so as you don't stay stuck forever inside your own horror-filled head, and on the other it tasks you with increasing the terror that you're enduring to get a better score by elevating the Bad Dream to a Nefarious Nightmare!

Ah well, it's a great little game anyhoo, and you can pick up guns with silver bullets and crosses and things to help you achieve these goals...and it should keep you awake into the wee small hours if you're too frightened to go to sleep in case of suffering a similar fate!
