 Uninvited for the classic NES is a point and click adventure much like its brethren, Shadowgate and Deja Vu. This time the story goes: You awaken after crashing your car and realize your sister is missing. Scrambling out of the car you find yourself standing in front of a giant mansion. Opening the mailbox you find a letter and a special Pendant with the power to help you save your missing sister. After grabbing the pendant, the mansion doors fling open inviting you in. After entering the house it's really up to the player what happens next.

  If you're around my age you might remember something called a choose your own adventure book. That's really what these games are after all. There's a ton of ways to die. People have actually made death scene montage's of these games and why not. They're probably more fun than doing it all right and saving your sister like your supposed to. Without a guide, it's more than likely you'll see a lot of deaths. This game is tough without help, and once you've got it all burned into memory you'll still have problems navigating the speedy cursor. Damn thing just won't stop where you want most the time.

  The screen is broken up into three sections just like the other games. Inventory on the right, map on the bottom left next to the commands and the play screen in the middle to upper left. The game mechanics are just like Shadowgate, the cursor only moves up/down and to the sides. Unlike Deja Vu which lets you move the cursor wherever. You pick up objects and use them in the appropriate manner just like the other two Kemco Seika point and clickers. But this game throws too much optional stuff at you. It clutters the screen with crap to pick up and very few useable items. Not just the screen either. It gives you a few useless spells to throw you off, as if the game wasn't hard enough.

  It might sound like I'm hating this game but I did enjoy it. Stupid plot aside, it's a fun playthrough if you like these kinds of games. Steer clear if you just wanna shoot something. That said I give this game 

Uninvited NES - Rating of 8.0

Please enjoy my NES Uninvited Fastest Completion World Record attempt  below.


This is a Speed Run I did on the NES classic, Uninvited, hopefully it's the new World Record for Fastest Completion. The game was beaten in 13 minutes and 16 seconds from start to finish.
