It's been a long time since I've played Radical Castle.  Once you win, it
isn't fun any more.  The Mac is connected with the standard Apple
security kit and you need a TORX driver to disconnect it from the
security cable.  You have to find it somewhere (can't remember where).
Have you "played" the video game yet?
