Beyond Dark Castle for the Commodore Amiga 

Yeah I put a little compression on the audio to bring up my mic level. It also brought up the keyboard noise.

Well, it ended up being a nice bonus for those of us who enjoy such sounds. XD I've never owned a Commodore but, for some odd reason, the sound of typing on older keyboards is very pleasing to my ears. There's also a certain charm in being able to hear you push keys as you play. Makes it feel just a little like we're chilling in the room with you as you play. Except we can't be jerks and "backseat drive" in real time, haha.

Oh man, I forgot about that! I may have to play this some more. Any excuse to make more Dark Castle videos...

I need to find a WHDLoad version of Amiga BDC online. The C64 port was serviceable, but you can tell they didn't put nearly as much love into it as the guys who developed the C64's port of the first game. I'm a Dark Castle nut as well. It's one of the reasons I'm reluctant to upgrade my Mac beyond Mojave, because I'll lose 32-bit app support, which means no more of my beloved Return to Dark Castle.

It’s the second game in the trilogy. Return to Dark Castle was the third game, and it came out almost 20 years after this one.

:D

Whoa, had you bought it brand new?

It was a model from 1987, matching serial numbers, warranty forms and stuff. Fortunately, the aca500pluss is back in stock and one of it's features will allow me to use an external drive as df0.

Amiga expansion cards are so expensive though... whew!

I know but I don't want to remove the warranty sticker from my Amiga to change the the drive. Plus who knows, maybe it's still valid and I can send it off for repairs.

You should find out where Mehdi Ali lives now, fly there, and make him fix it for you. If he's dead make his offspring fix it for you.

Now that you mention it, I really need to have it recapped.

I want to try again. Maybe my keyboard was messed up. I've opened the case and disconnected that ribbon cable so often that it might be poorly seated.

That might be my keyboard. I'll have to test it on something else. I've detached and reattached the keyboard a number of times.

had issues with games on my Amiga years ago used to be the same .

And maybe it would have been better with a joystick. That's probably what it was primarily designed to use.

Dark Castle is the original keyboard-and-mouse game. Even on my C64, which doesn't have a mouse, I've found that I do much better if using the keys. There are keys for aiming the rocks, and they work fairly well.

It will return with another version of the game.
