Anchorhead is listed in the GameForever catalogue but not in the duel pool: this game is never offered for a vote, its 1,500 points are never at stake and it does not appear in the world ranking. Its entry and its debate stay open.

About Anchorhead

Anchorhead is a text adventure game in the style of classic Infocom games from the 1980s. Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead, Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world.

To mark the twentieth anniversary of its initial publication, Anchorhead is now available in a special Illustrated Edition with rewritten code, revised prose, additional puzzles, and illustrations by Carlos Cara Àlvarez.

ELO progression

This game does not take part in duels: its score never moves, so there is no history to plot.

Head-to-head

As this game is never offered in duels, it has no match-up to its name.
