Dark Castle adapts the gothic 16 bit microcomputer platformer to Mega Drive with its knight exploring a haunted castle in profile view. The conversion keeps the dark atmosphere but gameplay stays rigid and difficulty frustrating. A curiosity for retro 16 bit platform fans, without notable classic value.
