Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland
Hi adventure guys. Do any of you own an old game called Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland? It’s a point-and-click game, mostly live action, based on one of the Goosebumps books. It’s mostly very cheesy, but the environments are very nice to look at. The puzzles aren’t hard but I think they’re fun. Also you can’t talk about the game without mentioning Jeff Goldblum’s small role as Dracula.
If you need help getting it to run on modern computers, what I did was went into the CD files, found a program called something like gboption.exe, and unchecked directdraw and high performance. And then always run the game from the “gb.exe” within the CD files. Also there’s the usual properties>compatibility if the previous stuff doesn’t work.
The game apparently contains 777 tokens, many of which you find by exploring the environment and playing mini-games, but the vast majority are found in weird real-time underground mazes reminiscent of Doom. Also, certain places in the game if you get “hit” (by touching fire or something) you lose a token, making it impossible to find them all.
I decided to try and find them all and only ended up locating 772. SO I came here to see if anyone was interested in working together to find them all. I took some incredibly dorky notes on how many I found in each area, so if anyone’s interested I can post that.
Welcome aboard & thanks for the info, desiderio.
I think this is the first time I read something useful in a very first message posted by someone on these forums.
It could always be worse, remember that.

Never did quite finish the game. Do not have the desire or the time to play the game again unfortunately. A good game as i recall.
Behind the scenes for the Goosebumps game
I wish it worked on modern computers without setting up a Virtual Machine. This game and Attack of the Mutant were surprisingly awesome games. The latter being reminiscent of Realms of a Haunting!
I haven’t played Escape from Horrorland in probably 8 years, 3 years if I count playing it for a couple minutes in a virtual machine (too much overhead) and 10 years if I count actually playing the game and beating it.
