Maldita Castilla plus 8 more retro games to download.

Remember Ghost'n'Goblins? Play it again with better graphics. If you're having problems running the game, load the settings file and choose a screen size. If you're still having problems download the extra file from the game page and replace it with the Maldita Castilla.exe file. I had to do the later and it played fine.

The game author says "The lament of a young witch has been turned into a key for demons. Guide Don Ramiro through the cursed lands of Tolomera and expel the evil that entered the Kingdom of Castile.

Maldita Castilla (Cursed/damn Castile) is an action arcade game full of myths from Spain and the rest of Europe. The graphic style is raw, made pixel by pixel with a limited color palette, like in the old days, and displayed through a dirty old monitor effect. Also, Gryzor87 composed the music emulating the Yamaha YM2203 sound chip, so that the game has real arcade sound.

It pays homage to classic arcade games from 1985-1987 like Ghost'n'Goblins, Tiger Road, Black Tiger, Shinobi, Rygar, Karnov, Trojan and many others… taking influences from medieval paintings and places, and inspired by the best chivalry book ever: The Amadis of Gaul."

If you go to the homepage you can also find 8 other freeware games, Hydorah, 8 Bit Killer, Viriax, l'Abbaye des Morts, EFMB, Gaurodan, They Came From Verminest and Verminian Trap.
