The Video Game Critic
The inspired music makes good use of renaissance-style melodies and deep, ominous tones. Even the controls are better than average. I'd love to give Thunder Castle an "A", but I found the extreme difficulty to be frustrating. Your energy never lasts more than a few seconds, and you're chasing creatures that are often faster than you are. The castle stage is a real ordeal, and I never lasted long in the dungeon. A skill level would have been nice. Still, Thunder Castle is a real showpiece for the Intellivision, and serious collectors should not hesitate to track this one down.

There aren't many single player games on the Intellivision that reach the quality of Thunder Castle. Ultimately, its combination of outstanding gameplay, graphics and sound elevate it to an unparalleled level on the system.
