About this game

The Amiga, Atari ST, and Apple IIgs ports features colored graphics. The differences between the three are minor color palette changes; the Apple IIgs is the closest to the original game.

Dark Castle looms over the landscape like a plague. Its evil ruler, the Black Knight, must be defeated. And you're the only candidate to do it... First you'll have to make your way through chambers of nasty hazards. The castle guards are hunting you, plague-infested rats and bats attack, the Dragon breathes scorching fire, the Torturer wants to get you, and the Wizard may or may not aid you with a spell. Award-winning Dark Castle is a fast-paced action game with full digital sound, amazingly rich resolution and well-crafted animation. As the hero, you will bound throughout the castle, surmounting hair-raising obstacles, eluding death and -ultimately- becoming the victor!
