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).
- DonHopkins 6mo agoThe first time Marc Canter (who founded Macromedia) introduced me to Jonathan Gay at CGDC as the creator of Dark Castle, I excitedly and respectfully held and flapped my hands above my head and shouted at him: "Nya nya nya nya nya! Yow! Uuuurh! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!" (The sound of the nasty monsters, and picking up rocks.) https://youtu.be/6U6v3XyrPLc?t=43 https://youtu.be/6U6v3XyrPLc?t=43 For years after playing that game, I would always say "Yeah!" whenever I picked up a rock, and I'd always look for bats every time I entered a room. After my friend and I (whose Mac we both relentlessly played Dark Castle on) went to pick up a big chunk of hash from his pot dealer, we both looked at each other and said "Yeah!" Fortunately we refrained from throwing it at a bat.
- z0r 6mo agoSomeone claiming to be the creator of Dark Castle says they are working on a 40th anniversary edition in the comments of that video.
- DonHopkins 6mo agoAnother commenter figured out how to spell "Woah! Wueeeueehh, wueeeueehh, wueeeueehh! Mmmbrbrbrbr!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U6v3XyrPLc&t=416s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U6v3XyrPLc&t=416s
- lolive 6mo agoWas the dual “euh weuuu heu heuuu” when you were drunk or when you fell from a a bit too high?
- jjuran 6mo agoThe latter. There's only one heavy drinker in Dark Castle, and it's not the hero. ;-)
- ryanisnan 6mo agoWow, thanks for that lesson! I owe that guy my career.
