Re: [Audyssey] Anyone ever heard of a game called CastleQuest?

2012-05-21 Thread Arctic Wolf
No, it was definitely not titled King's Quest.  In the game I remember, you 
began just outside the castle, and the objective was to wander through the 
castle, which was frikin'  huge by the way, and to find the vampire and kill 
him, and to reach a room somewhere in the basement that would free you from 
the castle.  It was entirely a text-based game, with only one player, and a 
hell of a lot of fun.

Many years ago, I once played a game on my old IBM 286 computer in DOS 
called CastleQuest.  I was wondering if anyone might happen to have it 
and would be willing to share it with me if they do.  I really enjoyed 
the game and would love to play it again.  Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Anyone ever heard of a game called CastleQuest?

2012-05-21 Thread dark
I have found the game on baf's guide to interactive fiction, however the 
only version I've found is a commadore 64 version, with no mention about a 
pc ms dos one.


I actually suggest trying google sinse often old dos games can be found 
kicking around the internet, (how I found braminar), or have had 
independently made fan pages for them if someone liked them enough. Of 
course, while you could still run the game with windows xp, and might be 
able to under windows 7 32 bit, 64 bit windows is another story.


Good luck.

All the best,

Dark.

Ok, and while it wouldn't operate on my windows7 64 bit machine, it seemed 
to run alright under my windows XP VMWare virtual machine, since could hear 
sound effects and music playing, but, aside from that, no idea what was 
going on after NVDA had read intro to me, and then told me to press any key,

Hi Folks,
It was an abandoned game because the programmer that BSC hired decided to 
stop development.

Audyssey Issue 41: second quarter, 2004

News From BSC Games:

Greetings all,

Here is what is going on over at BSC as of late.

We are working on CastleQuest continuously. CastleQuest unveils a complete
3D adventure to VI gamers through the Kingdom of Nivora, home of King Tiras.
Plenty of items, quests, and encounters will keep even the most avid players
challenged and enthralled. In Castle Quest, a portal has been unveiled that
leads to a 3D world unlike anything anyone has ever heard. Currently, we are
taking voice actor auditions if you would be interested in auditioning to be
a volunteer voice actor for cq.

Re: [Audyssey] Anyone ever heard of a game called CastleQuest?

2012-05-21 Thread Phil Vlasak

Here is the site from the way back machine:
Castle Quest - Everyone Has a Destiny
Welcome to the official web site of Castle Quest, a BSC Games production, a 
3d adventure game coming to you the first or second quarter of 2004.


A World Of Intrigue and Adventure
Castle Quest unveils a complete 3D adventure to VI gamers through the 
Kingdom of Nivora, home of King Tiras. Plenty of items, quests, and 
encounters will keep even the most avid players challenged and enthralled. 
In Castle Quest, a portal has been unveiled that leads to a 3D world unlike 
anything anyone has ever heard. Players can quest in this extraordinary 3D 
discovery as they fight to bring justice back to Nivora and help King Tiras 
regain his rightful reign. Veteran players will face fresh challenges as 
they voyage through the various regions of Nivora, while novice players will 
enjoy scores of new and challenging quests along the way.


Players will battle fiercely against the followers of Raamah, the evil 
knight who has overtaken parts of Nivora with his minions and allies. Raamah 
and his apprentices, battle knights, warriors, devilish creatures, thieves, 
and many other adversaries join efforts to try to gain control of Nivora. 
The fabled Dragon of Tagarma watches over the hidden treasure of Magog, the 
resource that King Tiras desperately needs in order to turn the tide against 
Raamah. Will you be a skilled enough player to help King Tiras regain 
control of Nivora?


Features
Here is a non-complete listing of some of the features of Castle Quest.

Option to play as different classes such as Knight, Assassin, Ranger, and 
Monk

An interactive kingdom, with many lands to explore and many items to gather
Experienced based leveling
Skills to acquire and develop throughout the adventure
Equipment that you can loot, as well as purchase
The ability to train in different weapons and items
Quests to embark on and accomplish
The Castle Quest Character
When you start a character, you can choose what class you want to play as in 
the game. The design of the game is not finalized yet, but some classes you 
may find available upon release may include Knight, Assassin, Ranger, and 
Monk.


Among the things that are affected by which class you pick will be your 
character's basic statistics. Examples include strength, dexterity, 
constitution, and intelligence. Strength affects how much you can carry, 
what kinds of armor and weapons you can use, and how hard you can hit with 
them. Dexterity effects how fast you learn weapon skills, you're ability to 
thwart incoming attacks, and how often you can swing a sword, throw a 
weapon, or fire a bow. Constitution affects how much of a beating you can 
take, and how long you can run or swing your sword without growing tired. 
Intelligence affects how quickly you learn certain types of skills, and how 
effectively you use them.


In addition to various weapon and armor related skills, here are just a few 
of the other types of skills we have planned:


Ability to move quietly in the shadows without being detected
To feign death so aggressive creatures will leave you alone
Track prey
Make poison
Sense and disarm traps
Use certain kinds of special weapons
Employ special attacks
When will Castle Quest be released?
Castle Quest is scheduled to be released in either the first or second 
quarter of 2004. The first release will not have multi-player capability, 
but we do have plans to release a multi-player expansion pack.



Castle Quest will be one of the most revolutionary games to ever hit the VI 
market. You don't want to miss out on this game! To keep up to date on 
Castle Quest news and events, you'll want to stop back frequently to the 
Castle Quest web site where we will be updating everyone on the progress of 
the game. When Castle Quest is released, the Castle Quest community will be 
able to chat and mingle via the Castle Quest mailing list and perhaps a few 
other ways that are not yet finalized. However, while Castle Quest is in the 
development stage, we would like to invite everyone to submit your own 
ideas, suggestions, and comments about the game to us. We would love to hear 
from you. Although we can not promise to use any of the suggestions you send 
us, we will certainly read each one and keep them in mind. If you would like 
to drop us some of your ideas about Castle Quest, feel free to email us at 
supp...@bscgames.com. After the first of the year, we will be looking for 
beta testers who have lots of time on their hands and will want to quest for 
hours at a time in a 3d adventure. Is that you? Why wait? You just might be 
selected to test cq. Stop by and fill out our cq beta application.

It's a dam shame castlequest went down the tubes, though given that justin 
describes hunter as having heavy overtones of an adventure/role playing 
game when it's in effect an arcade game, i'm not sure how cq would stand up 
to something like entombed for complexity and features,  though of 
course given the features listed on the old site it might have been a step 
beyond all of bsc's other offerings.


However you look at it though, it's a shame cq wasn't developed, and even 
more a shame that Justin has had to give up full time audio game 
developement. I'd really be interested to see what he could've done if bsc 
games had carried on with their developements all these years, even if the 
third party developer he was working with for cq baled at the last moment 
and he had to drop the project, indeed, with the move away from arcade style 
games,  fine examples of this style though many of bsc's titles were, it 
would've been interesting to see what Justin could've come up with in 
another arena.


Beware the Grue!

Hi Phil and all,

Wrong Castle Quest. There was a game from the 80's called Castle Quest, 
a text adventure, that was abandoned several years before Justin came 
along and named his game Castle Quest. So I just wanted to point out 
that the Castle Quest being discussed here on the list and BSC' Castle 
Quest are two totally different things. :D
