I'm happy to know that EVERYONE else couldnt beat this game then too.

I have been looking for this game for DECADES. Thank you SO much for finding and posting this. This has been my white whale that I could NEVER place. This has been living in my head rent free for a very long time. I was a small toddler that played this game ALOT even though I didnt know what i was doing lol.

Is this game still in apple store or anywhere for that matter? I cannot find it

Thank you for this. I was packing up my old SE for delivery to a museum (I kid thee not) and got lost in memories while doing it. I played Magneto on a Mac Plus, but never finished it, and I figured I'll give it a shot and see if anyone has posted a walkthrough. And here I am. I still remember the sheer joy of finally figuring out how to "give magic in the shrine". It didn't help my playing that English is not my native language and I had just started studying it at school. I even considered "fixing" the apparent UI bug (the last empty item in menu) with ResEdit before I realised it's there for a reason. :D I think Dark Castle was the first Mac game I actually managed to finish.

The laser powerup is helpful in the final level.

underrated game

👾

hey, can you post a video of Castle of Ert please?

looks like I'm playing the sequel to it. what I'm playing is called "dia_bolo"

Heard the theme song on the radio and my grandpa mentioned he used to play a game called "Dark Castle" on the machintosh at his desk job in the 80s with his work buddies and waste company time/procrastinate, I guess some things never change!

Hahah yeah I remember playing this on my dads IIsi!

Very nostalgic! Thanks for uploading. Also, $1.9042 to £1! (06:47)

The sounds are unforgettable

I miss this game SO much!!! I played it to death, it was SO addictive. Got me thru a very lonely stage in my life. Watching it was like a time warp that I havent played in over 30 years. Thankyou! I remember cracking over 300 000. The sounds and the patterns of them moving was just awesome!

I had this game on a CD-ROM Today disc as a kid. We had an exchange student from Germany who loved the game and made a whole bunch of notes about every game she played on our Mac. Sadly, she took the notes back to Germany with her.

Good ol' monochrome graphics on a 9 inch CRT built in monitor! Anyone remember another somewhat similar game from a bit after this called OIDS? Can't remember now if it still ran in monochrome on the Mac Plus or SE.

I wish there was a version of this for today's computers that you could download and play.

I remember this one game Escape from School - when you typed in the command 'THINK' it would say "you try to THINK but nothing happens!" :D still find that hilarious to this day... lol ... too bad I can't find any playthrough on it

love how he just takes a moment to raise his hand to do a nazi pose from time to time 1:16

God this game was damn hard.

Best sound effects ever! And addictive if I recall from all those years ago !

Played this as a kid but never beat it. Thanks for the bonus alt endings 😂

What a terrific game. I borrowed a friend's old Mac just to play this game to try and beat it . . . and succeeded. Haven't played it since. For me *_Lunar Rescue_* inspired a "Murphy's Rule" . . . Art: A scene on the Moon, with a cartoony colony mayor ("Mayor" sash, key to the city) waving goodbye to your ship; in his other hand is a big bag of money. All around him are lunar colonists dying of asphyxiation in various silly poses. Text: "In *_Lunar Rescue_* (Ann Arbor Softworks) a Moon colony will happily sell you all of their oxygen generators, even if it means certain death for the colony!" With this one I also submitted four others, back in the old Illuminati BBS days. SJ Games was considering publishing a sequel to their Murphy's Rules book, but I don't think it ever made it to the printer. www.sjgames.com/murphys/

Hello Fzzzy, which version of the game is this? Original color Mac version? Or what? And are you playing on an emulator? I’m curious to know how you played and recorded this in 2022 😋

Unlocked new memories

I used to be so good

This game used bit crusher?

macでよく遊びました。 効果音が何とも言えないです。

Oh my god, I forgot about the coke! 😂

nice! even back then Interface Builder was tripping people up.

Must be on a real Mac, every emulator I try this on is dogshit!

Samson... Marvellous game... Sandbags... END

I didn't know you could do this on the Power Macintosh G3! I thought the 100 MHz PC compatibility cards (7-inch and 12-inch) were only supported by the Power Macintosh 5400, 6400 (7-inch card only), 7200, 7500, 7600, 8500, 9500 and 8600/9600 series!

Is it me or does this look way more decent on Mac than on Genesis?

Things done changed.

Pretty big of you to upload this! It was one of the first cRPG-type things I actually beat (when I was 9).

Impressive design! great level complexity, dark atmosphere, good animations, a mix between Hunchback and Dragon's Lair.

Strong glypha vibes

Great to see this game again. Never managed to finish it. Spend many childhood hours in trying and was always fascinated by it. Did finish Earthbound and yo me it feels like Earthbound was inspired by this game. Or the other way around.

Played that game so much. My parents initially didn't want me to play it because of the whip guy in the prison. They locked the 3.5" diskette in a container. Yet when they left I opened the container using a paperclip key I managed to produce. Watching Mc Guyver sure was useful 😂 Then when I heard the car I quickly had to quit the game, switch of the Apple, take out the diskette and store it in the container. Sometimes I even wiped some dust on the container again as my dad didn't use the game diskettes much 😁 The details were amazing. The small step, easily overlooked at the last part of the prison where you'd tremble and then the robor comes and shoot you. Or grabbing the key and watching the prisoners shaking their heads when you stood underneath the wrong key. That game taught me my mouse/keyboard skills. Dark Castle 2 is also amazing yet also very difficult. Never finished that one.

You suck at this game!

cool game and amazing music! how did you download this game?

aesthetic

I knew about this game for years! When I was listening to Housequake by Prince for the first time and herd that “damn” part. I nearly lost my mind, lol

Brings back memories.

Polly want a squire NOW! ...seriously
