Dark Castles will run on any machine or environment that has an Alternate Screen Buffer except maybe the 128K Mac. Therefore it will run on the Mac SE because the SE does have an alternate screen buffer (the SE however does not have an alternate sound buffer). I know this is true because I have played Dark Castles on an SE. Now running Switcher or Macsbug, or anything that moves Bufptr destroys the alternate screen buffer which prevents Dark Castle from running. Interesting enough the Prodigy 4 moves the Bufptr to below the alternate buffer, so if you wish to run switcher and play Dark Castles in one of the partitions you can on a Prodigy, but you can not do this on any other machine.
