Item Condition

A mini reproduction box only — a scaled-down display replica of the original box; no game, manual or inserts are included. The photos are of this exact box — look them over closely for its print and details. The clear plastic box protector shown in the photos is included. The acrylic display stand in the photos is a presentation prop and is not included. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

One hundred rooms, one prince, and a whole lot of blocks that need to end up in exactly the right place. Castlequest is the North American release of ASCII Corporation's Castle Excellent, brought to the NES in 1989 by Nexoft, ASCII's American division, and it rewards a careful plan far more than quick reflexes.

The prince works his way through Groken Castle's ten-by-ten grid of rooms on a mission to rescue Princess Margarita, pushing blocks, matching colored keys to their doors and steering clear of knights, wizards and other foes along the way. Each screen plays like a small puzzle box, and mapping your route through the castle is half the adventure. The NES release dropped the Famicom version's save feature, but it starts the player with a generous 50 lives instead of four, which tells you something about how tricky those rooms can get.

It's one of the more cerebral corners of the NES library, and its box gives an 8-bit adventure shelf a welcome change of pace from the usual run-and-gun lineup. This is a mini reproduction of the game's North American box, not original Nexoft packaging; the Mini Box Gaming logo is printed on its back panel.
