Escape From PETSCII Castle
A downloadable game
Wolfenstein 3D broke all the molds when it was release in 1992. Escape From PETSCII Castle is a new game inspired by Wolf3D but written for my 1981-vintage Commodore PET computer. Shoot enemies, gather treasures ... and find the elevator to escape.

Wow, I'm impressed 👍 👍 👍
Runs great on my 4032. Amazing work, never expected to see a 3D-shooter on the PET! One minor issue, playing using the keyboard I couldn't move & turn at the same time - is that a keyboard matrix limitation?
Awesome game!
Great job. You got the hang of it quickly.
Imagine going back in time and putting THIS on. The world would go nuts.
I think about that sometimes too.
wow great work!!!!
also a question
is er snes controller support?
yes there is SNES support. Just press “start” on the first screen.
Well done, this is excellent!
My best so far is 14,138 with all 7 prizes on difficulty 3, on my PET 4032.
Well done. The extra bonus kicks in at the hard level. Good luck!
I did it! I even managed to beat your score you mention on the end screen.
Whoa amazing @PaulKitching. It even looks like you dont use the “run” button either .. so you can probably do even better.
Arghh! You're right. I totally forgot about running.
Awesome. You mastered it!
I'm impressed. Even if I do not find the elevator - for now - it is a little great game. Awesome!
Edit: I made a 5 minutes long video of the game, using the skill "I know the killer poke" and xpet emulator.
Oh cool .. good playing to get to that point!
Thanks. So I went a little farther than I first thought? Good news!
Edit: just finished it on "I wrote donkey.bas" skill. I know, it is easier, but challenging anyway. I finished with 20% of health. So easy skill? In a way yes, in a way not really :)
I played it using keyboard so I took easily some damages :(
Well done! It looks like you found some of the hidden passages .. but missed one in particular (where the final "prize" is).
Thanks. I found two or three secret room, finding the machine gun in one of them.
But finishing the game without dying was m'y goal... I really thought I'll lost at least a life... I was lucky.
This game shows what the Pet can do :)
Another fantastic game—both technically and in terms of game mechanics. Congratulations, Jim!
Thanks Kornel!
