Never heard of this one. Of course, my dad was an Atari computer guy back in the day...

Looks like the old Spider-man game for PC/Amiga. Is this a remake of an old game... and was Spider-man a take off of that game?

OMG this game is freaking awesome. I remember playing the original 2 games on my Mac Plus at the time. My god has it really been almost 20 years? This definitely brings back some good old memories. Thanks for the update.

Wow, blast from the past. My friend had this on his Mac back in the early 90's and we played it all the time. I hadn't even thought of it for 10 years until now, and I didn't know they were making a sequel. Does it really hold up to the test of time though?

I still have a PC version of the original Dark Castle. I originally played it on the Commodore 64 though.

While I doubt it'd set the world on fire, the Dark Castle concepts could be brought back to make an interesting game now, without anything like it. Then would come 3,000 clones, and it'd grow dull, but hey! At least it'd be on top for a bit.

Um, you could be crap, but the Dark Castle series is also extremely difficult platform gaming with brutally unforgiving mechanics (i.e. running into walls dizzy's you for 6 seconds, ample time for a threat to 1-hit you).

Also, if you haven't died a dozen times on each level already, so that you have some inkling as to what to do... god help you! So more likely than not, you're just not familiar w/ the game yet.

Just played through most of the demo. Each time an opponent got near me I thought "dear GOD, can that thing 1-hit me?!?!" trying to think back to 20 years ago with the originals. That, and I'm playing with a trackpad, no less!

This game is enormous. If anyone finishes with 100% you deserve a cookie.
