Castle of the Winds

I remember playing the first episode of this as a shareware demo, and how the game let you set any windows Icon as your avatar. I had set an icon from a game that had come with one of the many games pre-packaged with my computer because it was hilarious to me back then to play as what looked like a mouse splattered against the screen.

Any other poorfags play shareware discs as a kid? My mom would buy me computer game discs from the goodwill. Did you end up finding a game you actually enjoyed? Pic related was one of my favorites, an old game by what is now Epic Games. I'm not even that old, just was really poor.

Castle of the Winds: keep casting spells until you run out of mana, continue casting as it drains your health, your hp will roll into negatives but keep casting. Eventually the counter will roll over and suddenly you'll have maximum health

I call it "extreme resistance training"

Finished my 486 build just in time for Christmas. Windows 3.11 already installed. I'm gonna cry bros.

Castle of the Winds, motherfucker.

Castle of the Winds was fun. I had the game on floppy.

I just dug up my parents' old Windows 3.1 machine so I'm happy to see this thread.

I couldn't for the life of me remember the name of this RPG I played way back in the day until I fired this old thing up. Turned out to be Castle of the Winds. Comfy!
