Need help (trying to remember a game)
This was for the Commodore 64/128.
All I remember is that it was a puzzle type game, black and white, and it was set in a castle. You were a man that could run and jump and I think throw rocks. I remember the graphics being really good for the time. Does any of this ring a bell for anyone? I've been unsuccessful in my search for this game.

I'd say crystal castle (or maybe it was spelled with a K). but I think that was a bear. In color.
But it definately threw things.

black and white? wasn't that just your old telly? LOL
isometric 3d monochrome games in castles that spring to mind are KnightLore and Fairlight, the latter being a truly awesome achievement at the time another amazing achievement in 2d was Castle Quest (not the text adventures) but i don't remember that ever being converted from the BBC, and was in colour too ... *ahem* ... but apart from those minor discrepancies, fits the "rock-throwing" description rather nicely /me slips off quietly

I don't know about "puzzle game", per se, but that sounds a bit like "Dark Castle" and "Dark Castle 2", which I used to play on the Mac. It was the humour (and sound effects) that really made it great.

BTW, don't think DC had a C64 version. linthat22, was the game you're describing a sidescroller or it used a updown view?
