About this game

Buddy Burbank was a B-movie actor who used his wife Hildegarde Montague’s fortune to open a film studio. After both of them died, Hildegarde’s will left the Burbank estate to her favorite nephew—provided he can find ten famous props from Buddy’s movies within a single night.

Hollywood Hijinx is a text adventure. Players explore the estate by entering combinations of verb commands and objects, searching secret passages and mazes for the required props.
