Dark Castle is an action game originally developed by Silicon Beach Software for Apple Macintosh computers in 1986. It was subsequently ported to other home computers in 1987 and eventually to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991. Many of the ports, including the Mega Drive version were handled by Three-Sixty Pacific.
Dark Castle is a platform game, in which players traverse through a castle to defeat the "black knight", killing enemies along the way and collecting keys. Despite the addition of colour, the Mega Drive version is often criticsed for its controls and poor production quality. Conversely the Macintosh version is often considered to be a classic among Mac fans, gaining sequels such as Beyond Dark Castle and remakes such as Color Dark Castle.
