The Castle (1989) - meta game
A downloadable game for Windows
HIGHLY recommended to watch this video before doing anything else, because there I explain everything:
Too long; didn't watch: I have found a very weird Easter egg or even more weird bug in old "The Castle" 1989 by accident. Shortly: the whole game plot is around fighting with unknown monster called The Entity hiding below the castle to save the castle. But if you open the game for the first time (or delete licension file) so it asks you to enter activation key once again, and instead of it enter "entity", game unexpectedly starts in 3D-interface (the whole game was 100% 2D! and the game is y. 1989 game boy!!)
And there happens some interesting shit, to I did convert and publish the file of the game here if someone would be interested just like me.
If you have any ideas or find something else, please write in the comments. Also if someone has the same game, PLEASE try to enter "entity" and write to me if you got the same result so I could know if it is just my version corrupted/bugging or it was an easter egg.
p.s. You can cut the paintings in the room 3!!!! You just need to go REALLY close to the paintings!!
p.s.s. Found some interesting files in the core file, uploading also for a small price (for same reason: i spent money on conversion program and will VERY appreciate any donation!)
Publishing also some scans (taken from internet because i dont have a scanner; as you can also notice, they are for commodoro cartirdge):
(thanks TheWiredOS for scans)

Neat Idea, but I'm experiencing the same bug as the other commenter here (Dorkfishie). Very interested in seeing what else there is to see in this game though.
Thank you for the comment! It is very important to see the ę̸̰̇ ̸̦̔͒ͅǹ̶̪̝ ̶̥̌t̵̨̞̀͝ ̷̣͊ị̸̀ ̴̢̤̓t̴̠̒ ̶͉͌́͜y̶̧̍, please give me some time (in worst case - a month) to fix the bug!!
hey! after 2 months I've finally updated the game. please check if the bug is fixed. I can send you extra materials 4 free for the bug-testing work
I found a REAL non-entity-related bug after entering the painting:
oh shit, my bad. while I'm fixing it, if you have strength, you can try to walkthrough it again, it should not be there by the second walkthrough. I'll look into it, thank you a lot for a report!
What is your monitor resolution?
Judging from a screenshot I took earlier... 1600x900.
Thanks for the info a lot! I pardon myself for the bug. It will be fixed for sure, please give me about a month to fix it, because of lots of shit happening irl & me being completely away from the computer. I'll write a comment when it'll be ready
