dark castle

happy new year all.

if you ever played Dark Castle on an ancient Mac (like, back in the mid 80s), this might interest you:

it's a zipfile containing a mac emulator (that runs on windows), and a boot floppy and a hard drive image to load in the emulator. the hd image contains the dark castle executable.

this is the most maddeningly frustrating game of all time. i have never ever even coming close to winning. but for some reason, i'd keep coming back.

now if i could just find a decent color mac emulator to fire up system 7 on- then i could play Glider!!! (paper airplane game- you either know it, and love it- or you have no idea what i'm tlaking about).

also you can find lots of old mac abandonware games here
