I remember playing Waxworks adventure game in the early 80's in my spectrum 48k computer.
Did anyone else play this?

I'm not familiar with Waxworks from Digital Fantasia (1983) as that one has to my knowledge never been ported to DOS,
but I have played the dos version of WaxWorks from Accolade (1992) which has some slight similarities with the Accolade's Elvira adventures series.

Not sure if Digital Fantasia's and Accolades' Waxworks games are related (remake-ish?) or completely different standalone games.
(There's also a 2020 remake of Accolade's WaxWorks, called "Waxworks: Curse of the Ancestors" which I never played.)

The 1983 game is a text adventure in the Mysterious Adventures series. You can play it online here: https://archive.org/details/zx_Mysterious_Adventures_No._11_Waxworks_1983_Channel_8_Software and several other places. It's not related to the later games of the same name.
