We (or at least I) have been waiting for it for probably ten years, but it's there: Return to Dark Castle, the third installment in the dark castle series. I'm quite excited about it: it's nostalgia in millions of colors. I downloaded the demo to see what it's like, and it's nice. It's basically dark castle 1, 2 and a new game all in one, remade with better graphics. amazingly, though, it hasn't lost it charm. *looks at the 'nja-nja-nja-nja-nja' dwarf like creatures and is content, while he throws rocks at vultures* Return to Dark castle -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape.

It's about time. RtDC's been in development for, what, 5 years now? Probably longer. Still, it's good news: there aren't too many good 2D platformers being made outside of handhelds these days. Now here's hoping the designers didn't screw it up. EDIT: 12 years, apparently.

Today life is good! A couple of weeks ago I was trying to explain to a friend what a great game Dark Castle was. Coincidence? DC was my first game on my first Mac (SE, 20MB(!) HD) way back in the late 80's. I'm absolutely thrilled. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, even though I still suck at the game. Marvellous. -------------------- Always try to be true to yourself - unless you suck Posts: 183 | Registered: Sunday, March 19 2006 08:00 |

And I thought Dark Castle was just a one off random thing I found on a random CD. Where is it I can find somewhere to download it and for Windows? -------------------- When you think you can't get any lower in life and hit rock bottom, God hands you a shovel.

Maybe, just maybe, it could be done. I know it's possible to emulate Windows on a Mac, but how about emulating a Mac in Windows? -------------------- Either I'm crazy, or everybody else is nuts.

quote:Basilisk II can only emulate a 68k Mac -- the kind that run at, oh, around 33 MHz at most. There's no way to run OS X on a system like that, and a fortiori no way to run Return to Dark Castle. I'd recommend just waiting for the Windows version to come out. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |
