Here's some additional info from the manual about Silvern Castle:

What is it?
Silvern Castle is a fantasy role-playing game.  You will be able to
create up to 36 characters and take 6 of them on an adventure into the
unknown depts of a multi-level 3-D maze.  It won't be easy.  Traps of
all kinds abound, as well as hundreds of monsters.  Will you be able to
fulfill your quest and retrieve the lost Crystal Orb from the evil
wizard Drachma?

A history:
Silvern Castle was developed after the authors of Wizardry bragged that
it was "...a game that simply could not have been written it
BASIC."-From Wizardy: Proving Grounds Manual, pg 1.  Wizardry is written
in Pascal.

SC was purchased by Softdisk in 1988, but was never published.  After
the demise of Softdisk, I requested and obtained written acknowledgement
that the rights to Silvern Castle shall revert back to me, and to
distribute it as I see fit.

Intro to SC:
Welcome to a new computer role-playing experience.  At first glance, SC
may appear to be a Wizardry clone.  However, other than its outward
appearance, it outperforms Wizardry in scope and complexity.

For instance, you get 200+ monsters, 400+ items, special goodies, a
multi-level 27x27 maze, traps, magic fountains, and more...

The correct URL for Trenco is:
