Just, um…21 years…after its predecessor, the long-anticipated “Return to Dark Castle” has finally been released for Mac OS X. This is some seriously old-school Mac gaming, stretching back to 1986 and the hey-day of WASD controls. I remember playing Dark Castle on a Mac SE FD/HD that I picked up from the local school district for a nominal fee. Truly innovative for its day, though Return to Dark Castle is all about staying true to the DNA. The screenshots look great, so if you’ve been itching to get some vintage exploration and adventuring on, get over to download a game more than two decades in the waiting.
