Dark Castle is a 1986 computer game for the Macintosh published by Silicon Beach Software. It was designed and illustrated by Mark Pierce and programmed by Jonathan Gay.
Dark Castle is a platform game where a young hero tries to make his way to the evil Black Knight, dodging objects as well as solving occasional puzzles. The game is notable for its use of sampled sounds to great effect. A sequel titled Beyond Dark Castle was released in February 1988. A second sequel, Return to Dark Castle, was announced in 2000, though it was not released until March 14, 2008. A Mountain Lion compatible version is currently available on Apple's app store.
