Castle Quest 6: De Wreking

One of the lesser entries in the legendary Castle Quest paper adventure series. Didn’t even feature a colored front-page. After the success of Castle Quest 5, Maan Studio clearly decided to rest on its laurels and release the next episode way too early. They wouldn’t make the same mistake again with Castle Quest 7.

Despite being one of the least accomplished ones, it was still one of the bulkiest, thanks to the fact that it featured an elaborate King’s Quest 5-inspired desert sequence featuring tens of variations of the following:

A cactus.
Another Cactus, but there’s something going on to the right of it.
An empty page. Yes, there were about 15 of those.

If you like that kinda stuff (I’m looking at you, King’s Quest 5), I can heartily recommend this entry. Otherwise, I would move right on to it’s superior successor, Castle Quest 7.
