Abandonware DOS title

Dark Castle

Released in 1987, Dark Castle is infamous for two things: its moody castle setting and its protagonist’s uncanny ability to slip on stairs as if they’re coated in banana peels. You guide your little adventurer through dank halls full of bats, guards, and traps that feel designed by someone with a grudge against gamers. The graphics were impressive for their time, with detailed backgrounds and a genuinely eerie vibe. But let’s be honest: you’ll remember Dark Castle less for its artistic achievements and more for screaming at your character as he fumbles into another pit.
