MR
DO'S CASTLE

Mr
Do's Castle was the mildly successful follow up
to the arcade smash Mr Do. The game takes the
character from the original game and puts him into a
new and highly original scenario.
You
are put onto the bottom of a platform-type screen. There're
many levels to a screen, resulting in quite a maze of
ladders and walkways. On the walkways are panels which
you have to knock through the floor. To complete the
screen, simply knock all the panels through. Did I say
simply? Oh, I forgot to mention the things which appear
at the top of the screen when you start and which follow
you. These track you rather well and pose a large problem
even on the lowest levels.
There
are two ways of getting rid of them, wait until one
walks underneath you and drop a panel on its head in
Mr Do fashion. The other way is to knock down
the three special panels which will give you a key.
Go to the top of the screen where the baddies emerge
and unlock the door. This will send them running away
in terror as they are now vulnerable to your hammer,
so run after them and give them one good bonking. If
you manage to kill all the baddies, then you'll automatically
go to the next screen.
The
graphics and sound are identical to the arcade game
and the game itself is a tough and challenging one.
I enjoyed playing it and it makes an ideal follow on
to Mr Do.
