Oh my, does this bring back memories. Just the sound effects from this game take me back.
I may need to schedule some time off for when it comes out.
Joe Williams of Delta Tao software (Spaceward Ho! anyone?) sent an email to the DeltaTao News mailing list this morning pointing to the trailer. They’ve given the rights to the original back to Mark Pierce, who designed the first one – his company Super Happy Fun Fun will release this new version.
Wow, great to see your post about Return to Dark Castle! You are missing the actual developer of the game, ZSculpt. There is some recent news of the game on their website.

Also, a Dark Castle forum was created last year to discuss the original b&w games as well as talking about the upcoming sequel, and you are welcome to check it out here:
