* UselessUsefulNonCombatAbilities: The SPEAK function serves no uniquely useful purpose. Nothing you can talk to provides any helpful information (most entities can't even understand you to begin with), and the USE command also allows you to cast spells. One might think it's simply TheArtifact in the more well-known NES port and it was required in the original Mac version, but no; SPEAK is just as unnecessary there, too.

** If you try to deal with the wraith in anything but the correct way, it casts a curse upon you and disappears. Afterwards, a countdown starts, with the player character eventually dropping dead after moving between rooms a few dozen times -- and considering how early in the game you encounter the wraith, you won't have any hope of getting far enough to finish your quest.
** Trying to pay off the troll with copper coins during your first encounter with him. Unlike the NES (and GBC) version he doesn't spot that you're trying to fool him, but he ''does'' take the bridge away, making it impossible to access the rest of the castle.
** Throwing any item into the oil after you extinguish the flames in the fire room will cause it to be permanently lost.

Tier A gave you a vague idea of what needed to be done, Tier B gave you a more general hint as to what you needed to do, and Tier C outright told you what you had to do. For instance, when trying to figure out how to defeat a werewolf, Tier A would tell you to "meditate on old legends" for the answer, Tier B says that "silver objects" are useful against werewolves, and Tier C tells you to use the silver arrow on the werewolf.

* NoOSHACompliance: There are more than a few things in the game that will collapse if you try to walk on them or climb them. In some versions of the game this is justified, since the backstory establishes that Castle Shadowgate had been abandoned for centuries before the Warlock Lord moved in, and presumably fixing the place up wasn't high on his list of priorities.

* WithThisHerring: You enter Castle Shadowgate with merely a torch and worthless armor. The remake is a little more generous giving you a dirk, which is WORTHLESS as weapon but makes a decent tool.
