I missed this book of BASIC games in 1984 but I guarantee I would have been way into it. As the title says, it's a collection of weird computer games with names like Tower of Terror, Monster Wresting, Flying Witches, and more. Here you go, I took the liberty of typing in Tower of Terror for you and saving as a .cas file for your favorite TRS-80 emulator. I used JS Mocha since it runs in a browser. In Tower of Terror, you race up a tower avoiding ghosts, skeletons, trap doors, and headless axemen. You must keep your heart rate under 150 bpm before you make it to the top.
