So, here's an interesting little curiosity for you. Since pretty much the dawn of the PC, there's been a game called Last Half of Darkness—an early horror adventure that, much like Last of the Summer Wine, has an interesting definition of "Last". The first one came out in 1989, and while there haven't been that many sequels, they kept coming until 2011—Last Half of Darkness 2 and 3, Last Half of Darkness: Shadows of the Servants, Last Half Of Darkness: Tomb of Zojir, and Last Half Of Darkness: Seriously, Someone Turn The Lights On. In the middle of all that darkness though, another lesser known game was released—a freebie at the time. One that asked, can ghosts and ghouls gamble with the best of them?
