Magic Castle

Crash

"Gilsoft certainly seem to have a consistently high standard of adventures, and Magic Castle is no exception. ‘Beware of Boobytraps,’ means exactly what it says — I was despatched to hell within the first few moves. If you manage to avoid sudden death there is plenty to do, wandering around forests and railway lines picking up objects in your attempt to save darling Princess. I must admit I didn’t manage to get into the castle — something bit me, I felt queer... I was dead again!

Graeme Yeandle is very sparse with his descriptions but his humour is lethal. He also expects your movements to be sparse and well planned. If not you begin dying of thirst or exposure before getting to pick up that drink, or the warm clothing you omitted to carry with you. All this and traps too, make for a lot of work before reaching the castle itself."
