What 3D Dragon Castle is

3D Dragon Castle is an arcade game developed by Webfoot Technologies and released in 1999. It was published by MVP Software. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows).

The premise, in the publisher's words

Gameplay is a mixture of platforming and 3D action, similar to Joust, only without giant ostriches. You have to bump enemy dragons from above to defeat them (attacking them from the sides or below will only kill you). Once they're beaten, they release a coin which will grant you bonus points. The floors are also plagued with dinosaurs, which you can destroy with your dragon's fire breath. Once you've done in all the enemies, you advance to the next level. Some levels also have closed paths which can only be opened by finding keys laying around nearby.
