: I always enjoyed Dark Castle for Mac. Used to play it with my dad. Not sure
: if that's just the nostalgia talking.
Dark Castle was hard, but fun. It was heavily dependent on mouse control for aiming the rocks, though, which would probably make it near-impossible on a console like the Mega Drive.
The other thing about DC is that the graphics were *stunning* for 1986. Even though it was black and white, games with artwork that detailed (for the time) were unheard of.
DC also inspired a shareware game called Quagmire, which borrowed many of the same gameplay mechanics (although refined somewhat), and which IMO belongs on any short list of the best Mac shareware games ever made.
