Description from the packaging.

Go Beyond.
Beyond arcade action. Beyond adventure. Beyond Dark Castle.

Play the game industry insiders consider among the best of the best. The one that was nominated in three entertainment categories for the 1988 Software Publisher's Association Excellence in Software Awards. Beyond Dark Castle.

Prince Duncan returns to the Dark Castle to confront his mortal enemy, the Black Knight, in the most advanced arcade/strategy game available.

Adventure through 14 full-scrolling complex castle mazes, where you'll battle bats, vultures, burning eyes, henchmen, and 10 other animated, graphically rich enemies. From bombing your way through the catacombs to piloting a jetpack over the swamps and forests, you'll see why Beyond Dark Castle is a favorite of arcade and adventure gamers everywhere.

  • Crash the dungeon guard's party. Climb the rope (avoid the pendulum), toss some bombs, defeat the guard, and get the keys. Piece of cake.
  • Line up the 5 magic orbs and you'll be ushered into your final showdown with the Black Knight. Fight with fireballs, magic elixirs, and bombs.
  • Practice any of the first 13 levels, against plague-carrying bats and robots with crossbows- and deadly aim. Save up to 15 games in the computer room.
