Unfortunately there are no independent reviews, download sites or JPEG copies of the magazine advertisement for this old lowly game.

Castle Quest start-up screen
Here are some screen shots of the actual game. Firstly the start-up screen. Only 2 control options, keyboard and kempston joystick. Note the "Clear Memory" option, even I don't know what that was really for, it just unloads the game by resetting the Spectrum!Castle Quest level 1
Next we see the first level of play. The idea is to get from the right hand side of the screen to the left, which is strange in itself, most games play from left to right . You are that little white guy with a caterpillar track for legs to save on animation. Obviously there is the usual hazards and nasties to avoid. Each level is time bound, the bar at the top shows how much time is left.Castle Quest level 2
Here we see the second level, with spiders going up and down and a moving platform that you need to ride on. Timing was critical here, you had to time things to avoid the spider in the low position. Watch out though, when that bar at the top reaches the end of the red bit, you're dead!
