Dark Castle download

Dark Castle is a great 1986 platform game (like Lode Runner is) revolving around a young hero named Duncan who tries to make his way to the evil Black Knight, dodging objects as well as solving occasional puzzles. The gameplay is absolutely fantastic. You go from one room to another by climbing stairs and poles, jumping from pole to pole, Tarzan - swinging from one rope to another, all the while collecting little bags as well as bottles of an elixir that provide a one-time antidote to bites of the numerous rats and bats found around the castle. In the end you have to battle a big boss, the black Night, to win the game. Although just in black and white, graphics are amazing for 1986, with amazing and realistic animation and the soundtrack is absolutely great, with a Dracula like organ tune in the intro and dinstinctive yet unintrusive sounds while playing the game. When I first saw the game, i literally japed my jaw in awe. In my opinion, this has got to be the best old platform game I have ever seen and I can't wait to play it in the colored version, which came out in 1994.
