My latest Applesoft game is a bit bigger than anything I planned to do this month. It has drained many, many hours of my life and probably has a million bugs left in it, but it was fun to do.

“Warlock’s Castle” is the name of the game. I don’t know anything about warlocks, or even if they have castles, but I needed something to work with.  In it you wander around a castle with 200 uniquely described rooms trying to find the exit. Unfortunately there are a lot of nasties hanging about that will kill you if you’re not powerful enough to destroy them first. They can get pretty tough as you go along, so you want to find any objects hidden in the castle that might help you out. No text parser here -- just a handful of one letter commands. There aren’t even any mind-twisting puzzles. This is a real beginner’s game (suited to my level).

The listing is in the listings section. Since it comprises four different files of 12-15k each, you probably want to just get the disk image...
