What was this old computer game I vaguely recall?

Post by Marscaleb »

I remember seeing a game on someone's computer way back in the day, I think it was in the early 90's but the game might have been older.
I have no idea what kind of computer it was, but I seem to recall the game running in black and white. Maybe it was four color grayscale; I don't know.

I just recall that it was in a castle, which instantly makes it a cool game.
It has a side view perspective, like a platformer. Most I just remember that where you'd start you could go to four different doors, one in each corner. (Maybe five? don't quote me on all the specifics.) Each room was a whole different screen, and each screen had its own challenge. I don't recall at all what you were doing. I think it was some kind of platformer?

Super simple game; I'd be surprised if it had more screens than you could count on your fingers. But I just have these vague memories of seeing it at someone's house when I was a kid.

My guess would also be Dark Castle.

There's a community on Reddit that's good for identifying games from fuzzy memories, https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/

Weird. Minutes after seeing this thread I came across this.

Hmm, that may have been it.
Thank you.

Although I also seem to recall seeing a second game that was similar; the guy who had the game had two different games that he showed me.
But that part of my memory is so particularly vague that I wouldn't put too much trust in it.

I just have read this and remembered an old PC game named Eternam:

Probably not what you're looking for, but the video is here.
I remember I had fun back in the day, even not understanding most of the things that were happening. :D
