* WideOpenSandbox: Possibly the {{Trope Maker|s}}. Starting from the Gold Castle, you can either go left towards the Black Castle or right towards the Catacombs and the White Castle. The game is about exploring the world, finding out what's where, and then figuring out what to do.

There are three versions of the game, selected with the Game Select switch. Version 1 omits the White Castle, Rhindle, the bat, and all mazes except the one leading to the Black Castle. Version 2 has everything, but always in the same places. Version 3 puts the objects in random locations. You can also tweak the difficulty with the difficulty switches: left difficulty changes the speed of the dragons' bite, and right difficulty controls whether or not the dragons are afraid of the sword.
