Hard to respect anyone who takes up internet space with this monstrosity. I just came from The Jungle Book on Master System and it looks *way* better than this abomination. This might be the worst looking Genesis game ever made.
4:05, hearing that "NANANANA" sfx for a mere 5 seconds is enough to anger me to the point of wanting to punch the screen. I absolutely respect the guy who played this. Hope you get hazard pay lol.
Saddam was here? As in Saddam Hussein? What was he doing going around writing on castle walls? And gamers rule? That's the same handwritting! Saddam was a really hardcore gamer?
I sincerely hope that this was tool-assisted. If anyone were to actually practice playing Dark Castle just to post a youtube video about how it ends... *shudders* They're stronger than I.
I've been playing this game for 30 minutes, and I've probably seen this screen over 100 times! That's like a Monopoly board where every space you land on is "GO TO JAIL"!
Character looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo. xD It is one of the worst games of all time. This make ears bleed, give insurmountable trauma and all the bad things in the world. Throw this cartridge at the fire!
so you're telling me if the undead rise and dracula stages a hostile takeover of the world with his army of vampires lets not send in Van Helsing, lets send in a guy who looks like Link and Shaggy to throw rocks??
Not only that but he keeps on getting dizzy by jumping around and falling down. Its not a protagonist that anyone want to get under or even play as they would just keep on screaming fuck for the next 5 minutes because of how massive of a pussy he is.
This has to be the worst cover of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor I've ever heard in my life. It's nice that they tried to re-arrange it, but a lot of the notes seem to be all over the place, and it's just plain annoying.
Lot's of people here saying they don't like (the looks of) this game, but I think it has a charm. It has clever designed levels in which every screen is used to the maximum effect. Since this makes it a difficult game and the players progresses very slow, not many screens/levels are needed. And that's why every screen looks unique, unlike a lot of platformers which have endless samey looking levels. This game isn't bad at all I think.
Don't you just love how that entire first stage is just a beginner's trap, that it's only meant to be played *backwards* if you fall into it, not purposefully choose it?
There are MANY games worse than ET, like Superman 64, the majority of LJN games, the entire Bubsy franchise, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Ride to Hell Retribution, Animal Soccer World and this game, of course! ET is a masterpiece compared to these "games" I've mentioned!
Wait, the Mega Drive version's long play is 2 minutes longer than the Amiga longplay? Were those 2 minutes spent aiming your shots with the new crappy controls?
Never finished DK, but hands down the hardest game ever for the amiga was 'fast amigo'. Jumping over bulls which turned directions on you was eyegouging fun.
I think the developers meant that the character is scared as fuck and that's why the shooting control is so awkward also the dizzying when jumping. this isn't meant to be a super mario it's a horror game. imagine playing amnesia with turbo pads and superpowers
The music has matured and is much more elegant and dramatic in Return of Dark Castle. The graphics and detail has also greatly improved on Return of Dark Castle. And the levels and rooms and puzzle challenges and strategy to collect the orbs and treasures are by far more interesting on Return of Dark Castle. However the unrelentless focus to kill you has not.
You can get to "trouble 3" stage by falling trough the bottom of most other stages (it leads to the sliding ramp on the left). Aww this really sucks compared to the macintosh version.
Really?! All of this for a damn text that says "Congratulations, you have defeated the Black Knigh"? What the hell was with the flying monkeys, and the living dead, the living self replicatin brooms or the guys being tortured or the muscular naked guys in hoods? Anyone?
Just like Fantasia, Dark Castle is a bad Genesis game that starts off with a crappy over of JS Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. But unlike Fantasia where it only plays in the intro, Dark Castle plays it throughout the entire game!!!
I hope that's sarcasm because if you call yourself gamer and don't know that Dark Castle is one of the absolute worst games of all time then you really need to change your name.
I had a chance to buy this game complete for a good price, so glad i checked the longplays first. OMG i couldn't even make it to the 5min mark of the video. This would be impressive on the Master System, Did they just straight port an old computer version??The programmers make no effort at all to take advantage of the hardware here. Pass. Good effort and well done on the longplay.

Whatever you guys paid the guy to do this.... It wasn't enough.
The sound alone gives me PTSD. LOL
jajajajaja such a shitty game!!!
I like how the player showed us what happens if you turn off the music in a wrong way
As a way to reference AVGN.
Gotta respect a man who fights the living dead using nothing but rocks.

@@rootykazooty351 probably because the games are 3 years apart

I wanna marry the guy who finished this game. You sir are phenomenal.
Can't believe someone tortured themselves through this game, kudos man, kudos.
I did. My only game for long time… good memories of when I had to enjoy the little I had
Saddam was here? As in Saddam Hussein? What was he doing going around writing on castle walls? And gamers rule? That's the same handwritting! Saddam was a really hardcore gamer?

Nice AVGN reference
So this Black Knight character has weapons and probably knows magic...and he tries to finish off the player by throwing mugs at him? Seems legit.
Not to mention where he put his throne
"even that vulture looks so fucking depressed" LOL!
The nerd got me here.
Yep. Me too. Reading through his book right now. On page 139. Which led me to this vid and your comment
For me, it was Urinating Tree that got me here.
That dragon is very cute. I want one as a stuffed animal
isn't that the most fuckish sound you ever heard?
***** very very fuckish
Even though i have never played it, this game makes me really angry
I sincerely hope that this was tool-assisted. If anyone were to actually practice playing Dark Castle just to post a youtube video about how it ends... *shudders* They're stronger than I.

Play the CD-i version, I dare you
Or Peter Pan. With a mullet.
Wait, the final boss is a naked black guy drinking and throwing mugs at you?
wtf...
Magic mugs.
Maybe the game suck, but the soundtrack...Toccata & Fugue in D minor...
Lmao when you tried to turn the music off. You have to do it right when there's a break in the music
I could swear he was was jokingly referencing AVGN at that part.
That's what I thought too, but this video was actually uploaded before AVGN posted his. So I guess AVGN was referencing this guy!
+StillersRock Oh my I never thought of that.
Yeah, and it was recorded much earlier than that, probably - this is usually how it works at WoL. Still, damn... that's really obnoxious. 0_0

Iconic Video Game Phrases
Mario: “Let’s-a go!”
Sonic: “You’re too slow!”
Kirby: “Haaai!!”
Prince Duncan: “WHOA!!!”
I can't believe you beat the game so fast... I would give up out of frustration.
so you're telling me if the undead rise and dracula stages a hostile takeover of the world with his army of vampires lets not send in Van Helsing, lets send in a guy who looks like Link and Shaggy to throw rocks??
And now we know how Shaggy achieved Ultra Instinct.
That's the most pansiest game protagonist ever
That title belongs to Lester the Unlikely.
Not only that but he keeps on getting dizzy by jumping around and falling down. Its not a protagonist that anyone want to get under or even play as they would just keep on screaming fuck for the next 5 minutes because of how massive of a pussy he is.
The Angry Video Game Nerd told us that the guy looks like Shaggy Rogers from Scooby Doo or Peter Pan with a mullet.
lol agreed
What's the point of collecting the magic and shield? What do they do?
In Possibilities Fireballs kill the Frankenstein like enemies for good and the shield will make you invincible if you hold the button
This has to be the worst cover of the Toccata and Fugue in D minor I've ever heard in my life. It's nice that they tried to re-arrange it, but a lot of the notes seem to be all over the place, and it's just plain annoying.
Valis77 must have some serious guts and tremendous patience... I wouldn't do this longplay even for a serious amount of money.
5:30 Wait, what? 'Saddam was here?' Am I actually seeing that right?

Those sound effects! My ears will need time to recover.
The god of gaming reviews himself has brought me here!
how many save states did you use to beat this shit ??
ZaLO
Doesn't look like he used any. Just mastered the game.
nah, just edit tricks
Did he just commit suicide at the end? How fitting!
I wonder what he did that it was him who had to play this game for the show.
The Urinating tree brought me here. Who remembers that youtuber?
Somebody needs to confront the manufacturer about this game. It is torture.
Hope that AVGN is aware that someone beat this game.
It is a wonder...
That this guy, who made this longplay (hah, 12 minutes), had a lot of patience...
Impressive. This took an superhuman level of patience.
Don't you just love how that entire first stage is just a beginner's trap, that it's only meant to be played *backwards* if you fall into it, not purposefully choose it?
If I were to make a list of games worse than E.T., this game would be one of them.
There are MANY games worse than ET, like Superman 64, the majority of LJN games, the entire Bubsy franchise, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Ride to Hell Retribution, Animal Soccer World and this game, of course! ET is a masterpiece compared to these "games" I've mentioned!
It's very annoying that the bats, keep screech "NYAANYAANYAA NYAANYAANYAA" over and over and OVER AND OVER until your fist meets your Genesis.
I give you mad props for playing one of the worst games ever made!! EA should be ashamed of themselves for putting out crap like that!
Wow, it was released not only for Apple Macintosh but also Megadrive.
and Philips CD-i, as well!
Eu terminei esse jogo isso ha uns 35 anos
This game could easily be used as an instrument of torture.
Wait, the Mega Drive version's long play is 2 minutes longer than the Amiga longplay? Were those 2 minutes spent aiming your shots with the new crappy controls?
Congratulations Valis77. You have mastered a very very very shitty game.
You sound jealous. Salty about your constant fails? This is a very nice game i enjoyed it alot.
"Congratulations ! You are stupid" - Joueur du Grenier
Hahaha
I would hate the gamer for speedrunning this, but considering the game.....I'll give him a free pass
Did EA make this game? Wow they have come a long way....

Drinking game! Take a shot whenever you read someone in the comments repeating something AVGN said.
Tbh, it's looks fun to play. I'm into a tricky game with wimpy prontagonist. But seriously, it's seem challenging and requires good reflex.
the sound of those eye critters in 6:11, youll never forget it.
Incredible graphics.
Shaggy in dark castle looking for Scoopy Doo
There is a wikipedia page for this game, and surprisingly the game got positive critical reception, and sequels as well.
Shitty ending for a shitty game.
Nuan nuan naun NUA! Those lil green eye creatures are the best part of this game.
Never finished DK, but hands down the hardest game ever for the amiga was 'fast amigo'. Jumping over bulls which turned directions on you was eyegouging fun.
I see EA in the 90´s had the same quality standards like today.
6:09 Donkey Kong! LoL
0:18 isn't that the most fuckest sound you ever heard?
Blank Blank Nanhanhanhanha is more annoying
The problem is that you can't properly emulate the mouse controls for this.

I hated this game so much back then
The first cat Mario was here.
a funny note: this game was ported to the megadrive by EA :D
This game probably has the saddest level designs. And we sure could do without the grunts and the whoas.
You can get to "trouble 3" stage by falling trough the bottom of most other stages (it leads to the sliding ramp on the left).
Aww this really sucks compared to the macintosh version.
@ 6:10 "NYA NYA NYA NYA N-N-NYA NYA NYA-AA NYAYA"

Really?! All of this for a damn text that says "Congratulations, you have defeated the Black Knigh"?
What the hell was with the flying monkeys, and the living dead, the living self replicatin brooms or the guys being tortured or the muscular naked guys in hoods?
Anyone?
Holy shit. Someone finished this game? Damn.
Is this as hard to play on the Sega system as it is on my emulator?
This game has the puniest protagonist I have ever seen in a video game.
MUITO RUIM MAS JOGUEI MUITO QUANDO CRIANÇA, SAUDADES 😔😥
NYANYANYAA! NYANYANYAA!! NYNYN NYANYANYAA!!! (repeat ad infinitum)
This is considered to be a "classic" game by some macintosh computer users
The attack mechanic alone is already enough to keep me away from it.... seems so annoying.
Just like Fantasia, Dark Castle is a bad Genesis game that starts off with a crappy over of JS Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. But unlike Fantasia where it only plays in the intro, Dark Castle plays it throughout the entire game!!!
Cool, you got the secret Home alone ending!XD
Was this based on the bbc game castle quest by micro power?
CONGRATURATION
4:05 "As if the game is literally making fun of you."

Ah.
For some reason after 29 seconds this video freezes.
This looks like a whole Lotta fun

One of the shortest games evers
Shortest Game Ever Is Chetahmen.
Scooby Doo! Where are you!
Who would know there's an official kaizo game existed back then?
Saddam was here
So does the CD-I version have areas that the genesis version doesn't?
What were the developers thinking?
Wow that dragon sure looks scary I’m going to have nightmares from that. Can the game designers make the dragon anymore cute?
AVGN ✔️
This is how Nerd can finish the Dark Castle
I had a chance to buy this game complete for a good price, so glad i checked the longplays first. OMG i couldn't even make it to the 5min mark of the video.
