Description           : A kind of Tomb Raider meets Deathtrap Dungeon. A nightmare of a castle that you have to escape from. This was gonna be a full episode but I went onto other things, namely mapping for Redneck Rampage which is a far better game then Duke (sorry dukers). It was fun when I did it and impressed the hell out of me but now it's kinda lame and the only reason I am including it is for historical purposes. Note: After I did DDCASTLE I converted the map to RRRA (Redneck Rampage Rides Again) and renamed it TOMB JACKER. Even with the enhanced graphics I encluded with Dark Castle its a better looking map.

Additional Credits To : Jon Hunt, Duketape, Speed, T.S. Bolten, Harry, and anyone else at TOTALLY                         REDNECK who has given me their best advise and put up with my flurry of stupid questions as well as Ben Crenshaw (AGES OF EVIL TC) for his input about art which saved me a terrific headache, and my sweet wife who                              supports me in everything I do.
