Return to Dark Castle - An extremely challenging retro classic is getting a PC remaster!

Ask anyone who's played Dark Castle back in the 80's on systems such as an Amiga or a Mega Drive, and they'd probably tell you that it was a very frustrating platformer with one of the most annoying character controls in a classic game. But ask anyone who's played it on a Macintosh however, and it would be given high praise for sound and graphics, with some even saying they didn't know the classic monochrome Macintosh was capable of animations of such quality! Well depending on how you feel about the game, you may be interested to know that as of next month you'll be able to play 'Return to Dark Castle'.  A re-imagined retro platformer of precision, peril, and persistence — featuring every level from Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle plus 50 brand-new punishing rooms rebuilt for modern systems by Z Sculpt Entertainment and Ludit. 

Macintosh Version


Here's the latest. "Return to Dark Castle revives the legendary Macintosh series that defined precision platforming and comic peril.  This definitive edition includes the complete Dark Castle (1986) and Beyond Dark Castle (1987) adventures — rebuilt with color visuals, remastered audio, original music and refined controls — plus 50 all-new rooms created exclusively for this release. Step into the boots of a new hero on a quest to defeat the Black Knight and reclaim the castle’s secrets. Expect classic challenge, slapstick misfortune, and finely tuned puzzle-platforming that rewards skill and patience."
