Rev Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Intelligentvision has the ROM available for Mystic Castle. Now where is CIB!?!? http://www.intellivision.us/intvgames/orderroms.php Mystic Castle was a prototype game that was later relased as Thunder Castle. The game play to Thunder Castle is slow and takes away from the fun of the game. This UPDATED release fixes the game play speed issue, adds 4 levels to start the game with making it more fun for beginners, and updates bonus images. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Rick Reynolds Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Thunder Castle is one of my favorites on the system, but it does play a bit slow. I can't wait to give this version some playtime! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfy62 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Sweet, now I just need a multicart to play it on. Good luck with that, for all of us that want it!!! I am glad the Mystic Castle ROM is out, I am sure it is a much improved and faster, and more enjoyable version of Thunder Castle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+5-11under Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Where in the bloody hell is the CIB??? The inner circle that is in charge of all homebrew and previously unreleased games decided it was best to limit the number of releases for each year to a maximum of ten, which, curiously, is as high as the members of the inner circle can count up to. At the last secret meeting in a cave that is a stone's throw away from Stonehenge, this game didn't make the final cut. Unfortunately, there is talk that some producers have gone "rogue" and will be opening the floodgates for new releases. This will be seriously investigated and seriously dealt with in the same serious manner that the serious "Intellivision Brotherhood" deals with all serious issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be seriously investigated and seriously dealt with in the same serious manner that the serious "Intellivision Brotherhood" deals with all serious issues. I say release the games at will. If this is only a hack of the original game, why wait? On another note, has anyone bought the Mystic Castle ROM and can give us a review of how it truly varies from Thunder Castle (i.e. is the game play easier, is it a game you would enjoy playing over and over?)

+intellivotion Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Being a big fan of Thunder Castle since I was a teenager I have just tried Mystic Castle on my pc and, believe me, the enhancements David has made are great and this version is much more fun. I thought Thunder Castle couldn't be made better, but I was wrong!! Fantastic job, David!! As always 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Tarzilla Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Agreed. It was only a joke, by the way (perhaps too much of an inside joke?). However, the secret inner triangle within the secret inner circle does sometimes make plans of it's own... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari5200dude82 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Very cool. Cib release please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Rick Reynolds Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm ok with little hacked roms like this having a place in the hobby without going full-bore CIB release all the time. In fact, I really like the idea of hacked/better versions of released games showing up. I think that makes the games a bit more interesting. A lot of that kind of thing goes on in the 2600 community. That said, if a CIB version shows up, I'll buy it. (I don't have a problem, I can stop anytime I want!!!)

Maybe some members of that circle discovered that shoes and socks could be removed -- and can now count higher? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 So is this actually a prototype version of Thunder Castle that played faster or just a hacked version of Thunder Castle using the original prototype name? If it's the later, why not call it Thunder Castle + or something? I find this confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 To clarify EVERYTHING it is an improved version of Thunder Castle that plays much faster to the players advantage, and is in ROM form for only $10.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
