I know this is true, because I acquired Spooky Mansion thanks to my younger brother. I spent a lot of time in elementary school playing Spooky Mansion in the Computer Special, and I talked about it and loved it so much that it stuck in the minds of my family members. I Spy Spooky Mansion was first released as a CD-ROM game in the 2000s, it was updated and re-released as a mobile and Wii game. Several of these books were adapted into various forms of media.

I only ever owned one of them, I Spy Treasure Hunt, but I remember getting a lot of enjoyment out of flipping through its pages. Lists of objects are written in couplet form and placed at the bottom of the page, and it’s up to the reader to find those items within the pictures. I Spy is a children’s book series that involves photographs of scenes with various objects hidden within them. Unlike Zoombinis Island Odyssey, however, I Spy Spooky Mansion was never a game that made its way into my library at least, not until I was a teenager. Like I mentioned in my previous article in this series, the Computer Specials class in elementary school was where I played many of the games that I grew to love, and that class is where I played Spooky Mansion for the first time. I Spy Spooky Mansion was a game I played during my childhood, and it is a game I own, just not in CD-ROM form. We like to keep things honest here at CD-ROM Fossil, which is why I have to start this article with a disclaimer. I’ll talk about both, and today I’m going to break form with I Spy Spooky Mansion. Some have been given to the CD-ROM Fossil Library, but some, whether due to a lack of particular value or me being too nostalgic to give them up, are still in a black CD case at home. “Games from my Childhood Library” is a series I’ll be doing where I go through the CD-ROM games that I played/owned when I was growing up.
