Wow holy shit I've literally never heard another person speak of this game. I came here thinking, "it's a shame Castle of the Winds is never mentioned in these kinds of threads" and here it is. I wasted a summer of my youth playing this game and listening to Blues Traveler Four every day.
We never had the sequel so the game just ended. I thought of it about fifteen years ago and found it! Beat the game and it was every bit as much fun as I remembered it being as a kid.
Random dungeon levels, traps, hidden doors, magic, monsters, treasure - this game is an absolute blast.
Dozens of us! I even bought the sequel as a kid (I think the first was shareware)
Make it a baker's dozen because I played it too! I never beat the sequel, though.
i also really fell into this game as a kid, it was included on a disc of free games for pc that my dad got at some point in the 90s. it was the first game i personally played with any sort of exploration mechanic, and it really hooked me. cool to see a couple of other people on lemmy have fond memories about it as well!
