Post Castle of the Winds [retro!]
I can't be bothered with working today. I've been playing some Castle of the Winds...I'm sure at least one of you played it too. Easy install, simple but intricate gameplay, nice writing. :)


it's a great way to kill some time

Never played it (or heard of it), but it reminds me of Castle Adventure a lot. I used to play it when I was small and didn't know any English word, despite having to type English commands to play the game, which I learned along the way.

Dammit Ox!

I still need to finish this game. It is awesome, but so hard, sometimes you go to the first level and you just find rats, other times you go there and a damn goblin eats you up with a snake poisoning your ass!

... been trying to finish this damn game ever since you told me about it waaaaaaaaaaay back in '02 while I was at uni and had no sound = no decent games either. One day...

Lol, snakes and hobgoblins are a piece of cake for me now. :P It only takes me one blow to kill them, and I'm a magic user...just sayin'. ;) They've been replaced by manticores, stone giants, horned devils, abyss fiends, bear-men, vampires and other nightmarish creatures. :cry: I die. A lot. It's hard indeed...playing at medium difficulty and getting my ass handed to me over and over again.

But, I made it to level 20 of 25 in the dungeon of castle of the Winds part 2 (the previously non-shareware, bigger part of the game). :) I plan to finish it today.

Dammit Pev, you just need more perseverance!! ;)

Haha, you can download the entire saga (part 1 and 2) on the creator's homepage


http://www.exmsft.com/~ricks/castl11a.zip


Part 1 is relatively easy and short, but you'll slave over part 2 :o A 25-lvl dungeon!!

My character was totally pimp by the end but still struggled sometimes.
