Here's my finale post on Avventura nel Castello, including ruminations on how context affects the reception of historical games, and a close encounter with the Loch Ness Monster.
now I’m a little curious to try the original 1981 BASIC version of this but I don’t think there’s a WOZ yet (may also not have any copy protection that really needs one)
apparently this game has a permadeath mechanic where it will write character deaths back to disk. you can resurrect them once but if they die again the only way to get them back is to send the publisher a petition and $7 for a new disk
