Oh oh, I remember this one! How delightfully insane it was - and Killing Jack was priceless! Lovely to hear that it allowed you to regress to childhood memories in parts...
Fascinating detail about the timings. That's the sort of thing that the reader would only notice if they went wrong.
I didn't play Castle Spellerous when small, but in my teens I helped for the occasional day at the infant schools where my mother taught. I encountered it at one school, and later on got it running under emulation at another. Its special effects have a certain low-budget charm.
I was going to say you would not believe how much I tinkered with them, but I suspect you would!
I see. My parents got it in an act of desperateion to encourage my sister in her reading, writing and spelling. (My poor middle sister - I learned to read before I was four and sped ahead of people in the infants, and she was a little later to start reading than average and so, in comparison, my parents were pulling their hair out over her. Hence acts of desperation like Castle Spellerous!)
