Castlequest ports the Japanese version of ASCII's Highway Star adventure puzzle on Famicom Disk System with its knight exploring a labyrinthine castle. The representation offers cell by cell progression, push puzzles and intermediate bosses in an original Japanese formula close to Lode Runner. Without western release, curiosity for 8 bit Famicom Disk puzzle fans.
