The Castles of Dr. Creep

Back in the 1980's I bought 3 games for my Commodore 64, they were $5 each and came on floppy disks. All Broderbund games. Karateka, Stealth, and The Castles Of Dr. Creep. The first 2 games worked great, but Dr. Creep wouldn't work. I took it back, and they didn't have another copy, so I got a refund. I am so happy to finally be able to play this on Steam! It gives me some closure so I can tuck that old memory away. This game is hard, and requires some time and effort. I love games like this. I wish there were more Commodore 64 games on Steam!

Its a nice puzzle game best played with friends. I have been playing this for about 40 years. I first played it on the Commodore 64.

i mean yeah its a game

Tutorial was fun but thats all i could do. Trying to enter the menu? Freeze! Trying to open the manual? Wont open! Will change this review once im able to get further (it seems like something i would enjoy if only it was working)

The castles of dr. creep awakes memories of me playing on the C64 with my brother, and trying to escape the castle. The game is very simple and yet brilliant, with a great atmosphere, it's strength is the multiplayer, playing with another person and syncing up is the heart of the game. The great improvement would be to have it ready for online multiplayer. Unfortunately, steam didn't put in the extra work, so I'm not able to play it with my friends, which is really what I would like to do.

The good news is that if you played this game in 1984 -- this is the original game! In all its glory. However, if you haven't played an "almost" 40 year old game recently -- then you may not realize how far computer games have evolved. I had a C64 and this was one of my favorite games. I'm sure I toasted a 1541 disk drive or two. It is fun, but can be very tedious to get through each castle. The ladders were a pain in 1984 also...

A truly amazing time capsule of software. My dad and I played this on C64 back when I was around 3 years old. To see it preserved on steam is not just heart warming, but it stands as a reminder of the required reading we gamers had to fight through to make it to today. This game had so much for it's time, not the least of which was co-op puzzles! Worth a play if you want to see what we had before you were born.
