Love this game. Got a copy in Japan. Brought it home and found it wouldn't work on my Master System so I imported a Japanese Mark III. After many days I got to about 15 rooms left to complete. Got stuck in a room still with 5 lives left but had turn it off because I made a mistake. Still love this game. (note: You can reset a room after a mistake if you hold both buttons down for 5 seconds, but some mistakes can't be undone).
Both "The Castle" and 'Castle Excellent' are originally MSX games. MSX was a japanese computer which was pretty popular also in Europe and South America in the 80s.
I have no friggin idea how can someone play this on a console... both games are HUGE, they take many hours to be finished... playing them in one sitting without saving is SICK.
Haha, right you are, I think I could really enjoy this :)
For a while I was afraid that it was going to be "Dark Castle", that horrible port of a game that was released for the megadrive!
I only ever played the sequel for this, and I gotta say, this one actually looks a lot more fun! Im gonna have to be on the lookout for a mastersystem and a copy of this it seems ;) Thanks for showing me it!

Thanks man. Actually that is a really good question. I'm not sure if they are or not.

haha looks fun but weird. LOL @ the 2 kings.
Music sounds catchy, maybe a little too catchy, probably keep hearing it after you quit playing the game.

LOL, yeah, they are a bit strange for sure. It is pretty catchy for the first bit but then gets a bit repetitive for sure
