Solstice NES is an isometric puzzle game developed by Software Creations and published by CSG Imagesoft, released in North America in July 1990. Its full title is Solstice: The Quest for the Staff of Demnos. This listing is the loose cartridge only, with no box or manual.
You play as the wizard Shadax. He must collect the six pieces of the Staff of Demnos to defeat the evil Morbius and rescue Princess Eleanor. The quest takes place inside the fortress of Kastlerock.
The game uses an isometric perspective, showing each room from an angle rather than from the side. The fortress has 250 rooms to explore, and Shadax must work through them to find every piece of the staff.
Tim Follin composed the music. Follin has named the title theme as his favorite of his own compositions.
Solstice: The Quest for the Staff of Demnos received a sequel, Equinox, released for the Super NES in November 1993. Equinox expands the formula to 450 rooms. If you want to start the series from the beginning, this Solstice Nintendo game is the first entry.

Great NES game
Great puzzles with a style that’s more free form than linear. Perhaps a bit ahead of it’s time as a 3-D world on a NES platform.
