# Haunted House Commented Disassembly
Reverse-engineering and disassembly of the Atari 2600 game Haunted House
designed by James Andreasen, the _original_ survival horror game. This is a
work in progress. The disassembled and commented code is in `haunted.asm`. I
would appreciate any tips or advice anyone may have as a PR or Issue.
## Building/Playing the ROM
I'm using [DASM](https://github.com/dasm-assembler/dasm). You can build the ROM
by running `make` and you'll get a ROM, `haunted.bin`. This can be played using
the [Stella](https://stella-emu.github.io/) 2600 emulator.
If you don't have make, the correct DASM command to build the ROM is:
```
dasm haunted.asm -ohaunted.bin -f3
```
