Forgotten PS1 Game 'Magic Castle' Finally Emerges Two Decades Later (engadget.com) 10
It might have taken more than 20 years, but a game intended for the original PlayStation has at last made its way into the world. Engadget reports: A group of Japanese developers worked on Magic Castle for eight months in the late '90s. They used Sony's Net Yaroze, a system with which hobbyists could make games for the console. The team sent the RPG to several publishers, but most didn't bite. Sony showed interest, but it wanted the developers to ditch their game and move to a different project. The team rejected the offer and later disbanded. And so the unfinished Magic Castle stayed on the shelf for over 20 years. Until now.
One of the developers, who goes by PIROWO, rediscovered the Magic Castle source code a while back. They decided to finish and release it, four console generations later. Magic Castle has some interesting tricks up its sleeve, as EuroGamer notes. It features dynamic music and you can customize the position of the user interface. There are four character classes to choose from and 20 floors with randomized elements to make your way through. You can download the game from the Internet Archive and play it with an emulator.

A: To give White men an excuse to dress like a Negro.
That can't be true or the fairways of Chicago would be littered with dead white guys who'd been shot in the back by the cops for walking around armed with clubs.

There were 57 incidents of police homicide in December? Sounds like it's time to disband the police.

You say "download the game from the Internet Archive" but your link points to http://netyaroze-europe.com/ [netyaroze-europe.com] instead. I don't know if this is the result of a mistake, bad editing or simply not caring, but this is how you're supposed to do it:
You can download the game from the Internet Archive [archive.org] and play it with an emulator.

Then say something about Yaroze, not the Internet Archive. Otherwise, it's just as pointless as me doing this:
