The player's goal is to topple the opponents king.
A player controls a small army (with units like orcman, karate man, warrior etc) on a small chess board.
If two pieces meet on the same square, they fight on special screen with a playing-card roulette.
Depending on the cards that each unit gets they will do damage to an opponent.
Different units have different health points and also different cards, for example, some units have more propensity to getting the instantly killing joker card.
Some units are able to cast attack or defense spells.
When these pieces move to an empty square on the map a spell window will open.
Each spell can either damage surrounding squares or heal/revive surrounding units.
About Game Boy
The original Game Boy (1989) proved that handheld gaming didn't need cutting-edge graphics to succeed — its monochrome screen and legendary battery life, combined with Tetris as a pack-in, made it a cultural phenomenon. Game Boy cartridges are famously durable, so this remains one of the more accessible retro platforms to collect, though translucent color variants and complete-in-box copies with the original brick-sized manual add real value for condition-focused collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Castle Quest for Game Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Castle Quest to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GB release dates back to 1993.
