Synopsis

Castlequest, known in Japan as Castle Excellent (キャッスルエクセレント, Kyassuru Ekuserento), is a 1985 puzzle-action video game developed and published by ASCII Corporation for the FM-7, PC-88, and Sharp X1. Additional versions followed in 1986 for the Family Computer and MSX, and was subsequently released in 1989 for the Nintendo Entertainment System in the United States by Nexoft Corporation (the American division of ASCII). It is the sequel to The Castle, released in 1985 for the MSX, SG-1000, and other systems (though not the NES). Like that game, it is an early example of the Metroidvania genre.
