In a free literary adaptation of Shakespeare's Hamlet, Castle Elsinore offers the opportunity to explore the namesake castle from the play to collect as much treasure as possible and deposit it at the town hall of the nearby village. This is a simple text adventure, with most puzzles simply consisting of giving the right item to the right person. Two-word commands are entered to navigate through the world that contains lots of purely decorative rooms.

You are about to enter the gloomy halls of Castle Elsinore, an ancient rambling structure perched on cliffs overlooking the sea. A stern Danish King rules this castle, along with his beautiful, arrogant queen.

There are strange tales about this castle and its rulers. Tales or murder and betrayal, love, madness - and treasure. You can wander through these ancient halls, if you dare.
