CASTLE QUEST
Solution

From start go up, left and up to green guards, collect torch and then trap monkeys in dead end top left of screen below. Collect torch on this screen and drop it to bottom by ladder they always descend. Back up to monkeys, pick up torch and block top of the ladder by other torch once they've passed. They should go left to spider screen. Follow, collect torch, chase them back and then go up to green guards. Kill them and take ruby.

Store both sword and ruby. Get captured by next guard and, in prison, jump and throw stool at torch. Get torch, jump up on stool to above door and throw torch onto bed. As soon as the guard comes in, jump down, collect the stool and jump up next ladder along passage. Once the guard has passed, you can go left to collect any items taken from you. Back up the ladder, right, down, left by stairs, jump to bridge and then jump right.

Kill the ogres and then go up for the aqualung, killing the red guards and then leave the sword. Fall off edge into water, left, up and jump across to next ladder. Go right, jump and get the bucket as you fall. Go up the ladder from the water, drop aqualung and then go down ladder to fill bucket with water.

Up two ladders getting the gold brick and then jump left to the troll. He will take gold down one ladder, go down the other, get the gold and go left. Dodge the troll, go left to start position again.

Do the monkey trick again and go left past both spiders and down steps, jumping left as you hear the witch. Throw the bucket of water at her and go left to wand. Stand on stool to get out then left and up, collecting gold coins. Re-enter the water with the aqualung and go up ladder again, getting the sword and ruby. Up, left and down short ladder, jump left into passage and again to ladder on left. Down again and kill yellow guards.

Move to right and throw the wand at the wall facing the ladder. The treasure should now be revealed!!
