Wow, don't recall Mystery House but definitely remember the era of small-self-publishers, diskettes-in-ziploc-bags.
And I recall being stuck in some later Sierra On-line game – by then with color hi-res graphics, but still vector drawn slowly on the screen as if retracing an artist's lines and texture-fills – where I had to throw a rock at some cobra.
And I recall a similar crude black-and-white hi-res mode game, Richard "Lord British" Garriott's Akalabeth, which begat Ultima and the Origin empire. Check out the screencaps:
