Somebody Tell Me What This Game Is?

Post by All Hail The New Flesh »

There is a certain game I just remembered on the first Macintosh computer, but I can't remember the name. The best way I can describe it that you are running around Dracula's Castle, Rocks is your only weapon, you can aim with your mouse, there is one part of the game that you have to pick one of the keys, if you pick the wrong key you would get a 10 ton weight dropped on you.

No, I am not talking about Castlevania, I am not even sure that there are people in this forum that even used the old Macintosh, I just hope somebody remembered that game.

It's probably Dark Castle but also could be Quagmire or Sammy the Cyclebot.

There were 2 Dark Castle games, and I think they were first released on the Mac, B&W baby, but with digital sound! It was funny. All the PC users with EGA adapters liked to lord over the Mac with their 16-color graphics, but the Mac had, like, twice the resolution and digital sound when many PCs could really only be guaranteed to use the PC speaker. It made for some odd trade-offs.
