PREMISE:          It was a dark and story night.  On top of the hill, the
                  ominous Dark Castle sat, awaiting its next challenger.
                  You, the intrepid young adventurer, took a deep breath
                  and then walked inside....  Ported from the Commodore 64
                  original.

IMPRESSIONS:      The graphics are so 8-bit bad as to be pathetic, the
                  classical score is rendered rather lamely given the
                  Genesis hardware, gameplay is obstinately awkward, and
                  the story speaks for itself.  The occasional touch of
                  black humor is not enough to save it.  Bury this in the
                  cold, hard ground - and leave it there.
