Review:


One of the Best Games Ever Made!


The plot is very simple: you are a prince and you must save the princess. But behind this simple history is one of the best puzzle games ever made for any computer. The Castle can be stand as a mark, and we can divide the time in "Before Castle" and "After Castle"... (-; In the game you'll be all the time into a castle, but it's a really huge castle! The are A LOT of rooms (about 100), but you do not need to explore all of them to win the game... But once you've played, you'll agree with me that finish this game (without tricks) is not an easy task. Beat this game if you can. This is maybe the best game (and, of course, its sequel, Castle Excellent) for 32Kb games for MSX1. The only problem with the game is the music. After a little time you will decrease the volume to zero or you'll be nuts... (-: The music is nice, but its quite repetitive.
