Play Sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle Online

Game Overview

So I dug up this ancient copy of Sorcerer of Claymorgue Castle from my dusty MS-DOS collection—original 5.25" floppies and all. Bought it in a Target bargain bin back in '88, if you can believe that. Tried firing it up years later, and of course, it threw a fit on anything newer than DOS 3.3, screaming about missing files.

Turns out the interpreter was looking for "SPL???.DAT" in the dumbest way possible. Found a fix online for another Scott Adams game, cracked open YOHO.EXE with a hex editor, and swapped those question marks for something DOS wouldn’t choke on. Now it actually runs! (Left the original executable as YOHO.BAK, but let’s be real—nobody’s gonna care.)

When you boot it, just hit Enter at the second disk prompt—some hack from the '80s already patched that annoyance. And pick 40 columns unless you hate seeing the crude-but-charming graphics. The whole thing feels like archeology, but hey, it works.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
