Why put up a demo that crashes? - Version: 1.1, 6/5/2008 02:27AM PST

Frustrating - wanted to experience the nostalgia, but even the demo won't work. It seems that it cannot even create or read its own levels file, and refuses to open. I've not seen this complete lack of QA on a demo before - not a good sign for sales...
DC3 demo and full version are both unusable. - Version: 1.1, 5/24/2008 07:38PM PST

Sadly nostalgia got the better of me and I paid for the full version before trying the demo.
I get the following CoreServicesUIAgent crash every time I try to run Dark Castle 3 and afterwards DC3 just bounces endlessly and never finishes opening:
Process: CoreServicesUIAgent [1557]
Path: /System/Library/CoreServices/
CoreServicesUIAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/CoreServicesUIAgent
Identifier: com.apple.coreservices.uiagent
Version: 12.1 (12.1)
Build Info: CoreServicesUIAgent-120100~2
Code Type: X86 (Native)
Parent Process: launchd [114]
Date/Time: 2008-05-10 14:06:57.520 +1200
OS Version: Mac OS X 10.5.2 (9C7010)
Report Version: 6
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes:
KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000005 Crashed Thread: 0
[snip rest of crash report]
I then tried to run the demo which ran ok the first time. But the second time it gave the following error: "Unable to create a new "DC3 Prefs" file" and quit on me :-(
There is something very wrong with DC. I suggest people avoid it for now unless I can be assured I'm in the minority here.

The full release is out. Check out the developer's website. This game was delayed to a ridiculous degree, but I must say, the end result is fantastic. All the levels from the original two Dark Castles are perfectly reproduced with tasteful upgrades to the graphics that in no way detract from the gameplay. The control system and responses are identical to those of the original games. The game seems to be thoroughly debugged, and I have yet to encounter any glitches whatsoever (rare in the first release of a platform game). I would have appreciated a little more variety in the music (the same few tracks are repeated for most levels), but hey, the originals didn't even have background music, so this is a small complaint.
Basically, if you were a fan of the original dark castle games, you won't be disappointed by this. If you've never played dark castle, get this anyway, as it is one of the best platform games available for any system.

Error: Unable to open "DC3 UserKey" file. Error -999 (unknown function) - Version: 1.1, 3/1/2008 03:22PM PST

I will buy it when it comes out, but while waiting (some more) thought I would try the demo. I get the error in the subject line and am unable to open the game. The scarier part is that the file is created when I open the game!
Please help.

To all who have download this game and want to see the full version released: the game has been finished now for about three weeks or so, and we are waiting for two parties: Joe Williams at Delta Tao Software and Mark Stephen Pierce at Super Happy Fun Fun to release the game (Mark Pierce owns the rights to the game, and Delta Tao is currently negotiating a license with them).
Contact both of them (just do a google search, you'll find them) if you want this game released soon! Thanks.

Yahoo a version where the brew master works - Version: 0.9b12, 5/7/2005 11:13AM PST

I love this game, I have it for my Mac Plus (the original and Beyond Dark Castle). Now if this can progress to beyond the beta stage and be closer to being finished I would definitely buy it.

Now entering its fifth year of beta releases! I loved this game, and I'd pay for this version in a second if it was ever finished, but 12 betas since 2001 is ridiculous.

I am able to use this version of the beta if I change my month to before June. The Brewer acts normally in this version.

I found a bug in 0.9b11 - Version: 0.9b11, 10/25/2004 11:09AM PST

Demo quits when you get to the brew master in the brewery section. You get to the room master and he does not pick up his shovel and keeps throwing barrels. When you start to hit him the demo imediately quits.
Crashed my Mac, requiring a reboot, twice. Will not be trying it a third time.
