Star Castle Pc
Star Castle PC is based on my old favorite arcade game called Star Castle. Star Castle is an arcade game from Cinematronics that was developed in the early years of video games around 1980. This game used so-called vector graphics. These graphics are very fine lines connected between 2 or more dots on the screen. The result was a very clean and sharp image, and although the photos were straight, it was possible to scale and rotate the images while maintaining the same high detail. I bought my own Star Castle slot machine in 1984 for a modest sum of $ 50. The machine needed a new soundboard, which cost another 35. Unfortunately, the monitor burned down 3 years later, and my Star Castle was put to sleep * sniff *. This program is written in memory of my favorite arcade game from a time when games were simple but challenging. Star Castle requires 386 DX or better with EGA or VGA graphics. A Soundblaster compatible card is also supported.
