Dark Castle for the Sega Genesis. That sentence alone would have most sane people running but no I just had to test it out for myself. Now I have played some pretty horrendous and badly controlled games (here's looking at you Dragon's Lair), But never did I think I could top all those games combined with this awful excuse for a "game". I mean I don't even know where to start to explain to you how bad this game is and the controls are you unfortunately really need to play for yourself but I will describe it as best I can.
So first I will start with the worst controls ever known to mankind, the only weapon you have is a useless rock which is thrown by your even more useless shaggy doo looking character. Now this rock is still good enough to take out the very creative enemies in this game rats and bats and broomsticks, however it will only stun the zombie guys and the gargoyles will only die when you upgrade it to fireball.?

So you think oh well that's not the worst thing ever to use but just wait til you try and aim it, you have to manually control the arm to slowly move it in the direction you want and then you can fire it and you have to keep changing the arm's position to hit all your enemies while avoiding the rest. Next we have the jumping, of course it is an extremely awkward type of jump style that you have to get down 100% if you wanna beat this game. You can do a low jump by holding down and jumping, a regular jump by standing still and jumping or a long jump by pressing up and jump.

If you miss any of these jumps and go down a decent distance you will die just like that. If you get hit at all by anything that resembles an enemy you will die in 1 hit. If you fall down the stairs you will die in 1 stumble. If there is a little ledge you will trip over it and then get dizzy and have to wait. The character and controls in this game rival horrible games such as the aforementioned Dragon's Lair and Lester the Unlikely and that's saying something. Who came up with this concept? Hopefully not a human I feel embarrassed the creators live on the same planet as I do.

The sound effects are no better either I mean you can this annoying dorky sound when you die or when you get dizzy and quite frankly it's annoying and gets old fast. Speaking of annoying and get's old fast the little one eyed monsters and bats make the most annoying sounds in video game history and they keep respawning so you can't shut them up. I would feel better if I was living next to a slaughter house and hearing that in the background instead. Oh and there's one theme that goes throughout the whole game and of course it's old and stocky halloween music and it is annoying that loops over and over. If you want to turn it off you better hope your timing is right because if you don't switch it off when the theme is quite you will pause it on the key it's playing and that key will keep playing. Also if you die you have to set the music off again and again so I would just mute the computer if I were you.?

The story is simple and crappy it reads?a young hero named Duncan tries to make his way to the evil Black Knight, dodging objects as well as solving occasional puzzles. That's it that's the story and frankly it suitable for this type of game because it's nicely on par with the overall awfulness in every department. The graphics are somehow worse than the mac version which was older and with limited software and they look blurry at times. I already mentioned the stock villians, so yes there you have it this game failed miserably in every department by far.

Now if you'll notice on the gamepage this game doesn't have many plays, not many decent ratings and I have uploaded the only 2 screenshots of it beating the game. The reason for this is the above, this game should have been illegal to sell and people with more sense then me shunned this like a pile of toxic waste which it should have been dissolved in. I'm not doing individual ratings because I can't believe i'm going to say I have found hands down the worst game I have ever played in I give it 0 out of 10 it gets no respect at all from me. Avoid at all costs for this is an abomination with no excuses especially in the 16 bit game era. Oh and you see the second screenshot I have on the page? yeah that's the ending I got after all of that.
