The download links are all dead.

So, I was disappointed to find dead links to a Windows-based emulator :-( Does anyone know... * What happened to the creators? * Who owns the copyrights, if at all? * Has anyone been approached to release the source code and games resources? Also, if anyone has an appropriate Linux emulator, which supports these games, please share a link and perhaps instructions.

Such a classic. Played these for many hours as a kid.

Note that Dark Castle was programmed by Jonathan Gay, who would eventually go on to make FutureSplash. You might know it better from what it was renamed to: Flash (of Macromedia/Adobe).

You can also play it in the browser in Infinite Mac: https://infinitemac.org/1991/System%207.0 (Worked somewhat better for me than the classicreload version)

This game came out the same year the original Castlevania did. They're different enough games, but there are a few similarities that do make you wonder if they had any particular shared influences.

I'd love to see a Fabien-style Game Engine Black Book for some of these older Macintosh games.

The other thing I remember of that era was the (unrelated) Talking Moose

Would it be possible to play this in those retro platform emulation handhelds? Was able to find ports for DOS, Mac, Genesis, C64, Amiga, Atari ST, Apple IIgs, CD-i. Is this a viable portmaster suggestion?
