Solution
MacOS Mojave comes pre-installed with ruby version 2.3. Fastlane needs a newer ruby. So we need to upgrade ruby.This easiest way to upgrade is with brew.
1. Install brew (if you haven’t already)
Open a terminal window and run this (we’re using the old ruby to install brew that will update ruby — mind blown):
2. Install ruby
Run the following to install latest ruby version (2.6 at date of writing this):
3. Add to bash profile
In order for this version to persist when you open a new terminal window, run:
4. Check the version
Run the following to check the version:
You should get ruby 2.6.0
or something similar. If it’s still 2.3, close the terminal window and open a new one.
5. Install fastlane
Now we can run the installation:

Prince Duncan sets out to topple the Black Knight's throne... literally.
Demo Recording
The published version contains a single gameplay demo, stored in the Castle Preferences file as 'Default', which depicts a Beginner playthrough of Trouble. There is no known way to access the recording functionality seen in the above dialog; deleting the DEMO resource merely results in no demo playing, while deleting the entire prefs file keeps the game from launching at all.
A similar inaccessible dialog exists in the 1988 sequel. User-recordable demos were finally enabled in 2008's Return to Dark Castle.
Compatibility
If launched on a 128K system, the game crashes with a flickering system error dialog before it can even manage to bring up this explanation.
