Trying to find the name of an old Apple PC game
Hildy_42:
Thought I would throw this out here. I have been trying to find the name of an old apple PC game that I used to play as a kid. Since this was 20+ years ago my mind is not what it used to be. I remember staying after school and playing on the Apple computers (remember the ones with the green screens) while my mom graded papers. The school had a game that I thought was called Dark Castle. But after doing some research on the internet I am unable to find the exact game. I found some with that name but they were not the game I remember. Some other games I remember playing were Organ Trail and Where in the World is Carmen San Diego. So it is around that time frame.
So I thought I would try here and see if anyone else had ever played or remembers this game. All I can really remember is that you had to make your way through a castle trying to make it to the top. Along the way you ran into certain things that you had to pickup. If I remember right you had to actually type in "grab" "whatever you wanted to grab". I recall one room in the bottom of the castle that after you typed "grab broom" the next line of text said something about the broom broke and a key appeared. Then you could grab the key and use it in a different room.
Wanted to see if anyone else remembered it. Or maybe I am crazy and I have no idea what I am talking about. Wouldn't be the first time.

If so, it is Castle Adventure. I played the crap out of that game when I was a kid on my IBM pc. I could only get so far though.

That might be it. I don't remember that exact screen and I don't remember it being that hard to beat though. I will try downloading that and seeing if it brings back any memories. Thanks for the quick response.
