The sequel to Silicon Beach's legendary Dark Castle. Released shortly after the original, it turned out to be more of the same, but that's no criticism. Fans of the series would have to wait another 20 years for a third installment, Return to Dark Castle.

Only runs in black and white.
I've just noticed this archive is infected with a virus. I have an archive of my own that I grabbed before it was infected, and includes some extras. Will try to upload it later in place of the infected one.
After fixing the problem reported here, I have re-uploaded the file to avoid more issues. It's now a DiskDup+ file, which is not harmed by the zipping process.
Does anyone want / need "Behind Dark Castle" ? It's a sage game editor for Beyond Dark Castle.
Actually Karateka and Aztec were the very first games I ever played on a Computer,
I still have my Apple //c
(nonetheless I was born way after that era) but made quite an impression on me, for its simplicity, and how well made they were.
that's why I like this type of games (Flashback, out of this world, Prince of Persia)
and this one (Dark castle)...Nice memories
I remember this one, too.
This game reminds me a bit of the AZTEC game for the Apple ][
(which is one of my all-time Favorites)
I like this one, and is amazingly well done for a B/W machine, very detailed,
though a bit hard sometimes,
so I'll give it a 5 stars
A really amazing sequel to a really amazing game. BDC builds on the gameplay established in Dark Castle and just adds more awesome elements. I mean... flying around with a helicopter back-pack while hurling fireballs at giant birds?! And yet, this somehow makes sense in what is supposedly some sort of medieval parallel universe. In this one you kneed to collect a number of magical orbs to open the magic door (which all castles seem to be equipped with in these games) but in contrast to the first installment, in BDC you can move outside of the castle and go and explore a number of excellently rendered outdoor landscapes. And, of course, there are more dungeons and more enemies to confound you and use up your precious elixir. There is slightly more depth and detail to this game than it's precursor and it stands as a classic in it's own right.
