Notes

[1] THE HOUND OF SHADOW uses the Timeline computer role-playing system to create a Cthulhu Mythos story set in the 1920s, inspired by the literary works of American horror writer H. P. Lovecraft (see game manual for a biography also). Other Timeline games were to follow which would recognise and adapt to the character created by players in THE HOUND OF SHADOW, but they never eventuated.

[2] To create a User Disk necessary to start gameplay, boot from disk B and follow the on-screen prompts.
