If you owned a Mac a long time ago, you may remember playing Dark Castle or Beyond Dark Castle. Return to Dark Castle includes all 30 classic, re-mastered levels from Dark Castle and Beyond Dark Castle integrated into a new, extensive quest, as well as over 50 brand-new levels, new secret rooms and mini-games.

“In a time of magic and mythical beasts, the ominous Dark Castle glows eerily under the full moon. For centuries, the evil Black Knight has dwelled within these walls, spreading fear over the once peaceful countryside. All seemed hopeless until one day, a traveler from a faraway land wandered into the peasant village.

He called himself Prince Duncan, and told the townspeople he had come on a quest to vanquish the Black Knight. Overjoyed that peace might finally be restored to their land, they cheered as Duncan set off toward the castle. But alas, their hero never returned from his valiant quest. Tales of his bravery were all that were spoken of Dark Castle for many years…. Until now. A new hero has arrived, ready to face the perils of the castle and destroy the cruel Black Knight once and for all.” (Retail $19.95)

You could win one of two free copies. To enter the drawing, download the demo and try out the game. Then post a comment on what you like about it, or post a memory from playing the original black and white version(s). You can double your chances of winning by sending us an email at contest@macappdeals.com with the name of a level in the demo.
Contest ends on March 31st at 3:00 PM EST.
Note: The demo does not contain very many playable levels. It’s mostly to get a feel for the gameplay.

To promote my new Twitter page, I am giving away a copy of Amnesia (Retail $10). To enter the drawing, just follow me on twitter and tweet this message: @macappdeals enter me to win Amnesia #macappdeals
I will draw a winner on Thursday at 2:00 PM EST. If you’re worried about your updates or anything, I will only be following app developers with the Twitter account.

“Many software titles on Mac OS come with the uninstall directions of simply “Drag the application to the Trash and empty it”. In reality, this often leaves many related files on the computer taking up valuable hard drive space. Amnesia performs a smart scan to determine all related files to be removed.

Easily uninstall not just applications, but also Screen Savers, Dashboard Widgets, and Preference Panes. Amnesia will remove logs, caches, application support files, preferences, crash reports, and other application specific files. Take the frustration and time out of searching for all of these files manually. In addition, turn on a secure deletion option to prevent recovery of the removed files.
Scared to accidently remove something you may need later? Amnesia comes with a built-in backup function which creates an archive of related files incase you wish to restore them at a later time. It will reinstall the pieces of the product exactly where they came from — even if you choose to restore to a different machine!

Another powerful feature Amnesia has to offer is the ability to create a list of Untouchables (in addition to the ones built-in). Untouchables are software products which Amnesia will warn you about incase a remove is attempted. This is handy incase a particular software product should be removed using a manufacturer-provided uninstaller instead.”

Congratulations to QUIETFIRE2009 for winning the free copy of Amnesia!

To win a copy of Pixelmator, you’ll have to use it! That’s right, my site needs some banner ads! I’ve teamed up with the developers of Pixelmator to offer a free copy to the person who makes the best looking banner ads for my site. As a rule, you will need to create these ads with Pixelmator. Obviously this contest is very subjective, as the best looking banner ads are determined by me.

To start, you’ll need to download pixelmator here.

I would like the ads to somewhat represent the likeness of the site, with the stripes and blue and/or orange and/or black colors. You can use this image in your ads, but if you choose not to, you will need to create your own percentage sign (I don’t have any larger size than this unfortunately).

Should you win, you would be required to give me the files for these ads and they would become mine to use freely. In exchange, you would get a copy of Pixelmator. Also, should I find that I like more than one set of ads enough that I would want to keep others’ entries, I would find some other app to offer you in exchange for your ads.

These are possible sizes that I would need:
728×90
468×60
234×60
125×125
120×90
120×60
180×150
120×240
200×400
88×31
180×60

I would suggest choosing the largest horizontal, vertical, and square/rectangle sizes and make those first. Smaller ads that are similar in shape can be shrunk from larger sizes quite easily. You don’t need to submit every size listed above.

You can submit entries to contest@macappdeals.com
The contest will run until next Wednesday morning (June 17th, 11:59 AM EST)

The rules are simple. Post about Mac App Deals anywhere you want, and then email me (contest@macappdeals.com) the links to the places you have written about it. I am able to track the referring sites when people click on links to get here.

Of course I am prepared to reward the winner! If you read my previous post about the Macsnack bundle, then you know that it’s a bundle of 8 apps produced by the same developer. He has given me some bundles to give away here. The person who brings in the most visits to the site will win a free copy of that bundle.

But I have a 2nd bundle to give away too! This will be given away through a 2nd-chance drawing. To be eligible, you must have participated in the contest by sending me the links to places you have posted about Mac App Deals. I will randomly draw someone from that list of participants to win the 2nd bundle.

Sounds easy enough, right? The contest begins now and will go through the weekend. I will tally the results Monday morning and then announce the winners. EDIT: Contest extended through Monday night to give more people a chance to participate.

BTW, posting in the MacHeist forums is not a valid place for this contest. I have already posted there about it and get many visits from that.

Congratulations to Foop for winning the referral contest by referring the most visitors to my site with his post in the MacRumors forums. That goes to show that you don’t have to have any type of following to draw people to a site
