Well after several hours later, I have managed to take "Mildew's Haunted House" and turn it into "Mildew's Manor."
In addition I have fixed the high-score saving by using CARTDATA() instead of CSTORE().
It is still of concern to me that current PICO-8 is limited now to 256-bytes whereas earlier versions allowed you to have up to 8192 using CSTORE().

If you have any questions about this game, feel free to let me know.
Now that I've finished all the tedious stuff and lab work, I can get to work on what I want to.
A good old-fashioned turn-based monster hunt game ! :D
