Dark Castle Original Macintosh Version!

Check out my new channel where I review Classic Mac Games - http://www.youtube.com/killgruz

This is a video of me playing the original 1986 Macintosh version of Dark Castle. I haven't played in a couple years, can you tell I'm rusty?

Join the Dark Castle Forum and talk with other Dark Castle Fans, or find out how to get this old game running on your Mac or PC!

This brings back great memories! My boyfriend and I used to play this for hours at night during college back in the late 80s. (This and Lode Runner!) He and I have now been married almost 17 years -- and we still stay up way too late playing video games together!

@bencheshire We used to play DC on a Mac Plus.

i remember that if you played the game on christmas (or set the internal computer date to december 25), the knight in the Great Hall would become a christmas tree.

Am I the only one to think this game should be released on the DS?

Liked! Help though, I cant find any definitive guidelines: im looking to get an early Mac purely for Dark Castle, but id prefer one with a HD so I can play around without having to swap to an OS disk. I heard DC wasnt compatible with multifinder, though, so which mac should I avoid? Im tossing up between the Plus, the SE, and the 512 if all else fails and I can find one in my price range.

Dude, this was one of the first games I ever played, when I was 4. My hands were so little that I had to use my chin to hit spacebar when I wanted to jump (or throw rock, I don't remember the controls clearly). At the time this was the most impressive game out there!

You guys can say this game is better all you want, I played this as a kid and it was like Lemmings-level hated by me.

So much bullshit. I think my father thought it was funny to make me play games like this, because all the games I played as a kid on the computer were like ridiculously difficult.

It was this, Oxid, Lemmings, Myst and well, Age of Wonders and Starcraft, but that was later and those are actually games I like playing, they're just really complicated for a kid.

I was very sad there was no shout-out to the Mac version in the AVGN ep.

@Protoman85 You aim your rocks with a mouse,it's in old school B&W,every thing in the Genesis version is a few pixels off,and some of the sounds were cut in the Genesis version.
