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.
- - All original Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle levels, fully remastered
- - 50 brand-new rooms designed by Z Sculpt
- - Gamepad and keyboard support on all platforms
- - Save, replay, and share your best runs
- - Built-in homage to the series’ 1980s roots


how authentic will it be? will it be controllable?
ReplyDeleteI think we all know what the next Classic Mac Gaming video by Gruz is going to be
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if there were an option to switch to black & white
ReplyDeleteGreat news but i really hope in a much better playability this time! I had the Amiga version and i remember it was nearly unplayable!!
ReplyDeleteit's the 3rd dark castle for the macintosh, ported to modern systems. the macintosh versions are infinitely better than all the ports
