ANTIC Interview 375 - Bruce May, Unreleased Magic Castle Game

from ANTIC The Atari 8-bit Podcast

Bruce May, Unreleased Magic Castle Game In 1982 Bruce May created Magic Castle, a game for the Atari 800 computer. He finished the game but was unable to find a publisher for it, so hardly anyone played it. In October 2019 he sent me scans of his original documents regarding Magic Castle: his design notes, and even rejection letters from the three companies that he submitted the game to: Catalyst Technologies, Avalon Hill, and Origin Systems. He hasn't been able to find the floppy disks with the game, but he does have printouts of the source code — which he also scanned and sent to me — so it could potentially be resurrected by the Atari community. This interview took place on October 13, 2019. Bruce's Magic Castle documents Michael Sternberg got Magic Castle running again!
