Let's Play Castle of the Winds: 1, Our Story Begins

A semi-turn-based RPG based on Norse mythology. Plenty of options for character customization, though sadly missing a Sneaky McStealStuff hero. Chargy McSmashThings and Casty McMagicSpam are here in spades, though.

You can download it from Rick Saada's website. He was the developer, just Google him and it should take you right there.

I played through this one and the second one again recently, awesome stuff :) To those who want to play it: What I did was installed DosBox (free), grabbed a copy of windows 3.1 (google) and installed it and ran CoTW in there that way. ran great :)

I've played so many times this game;

and would play again if there were additional versions, quests, spells, items and monsters.

I was expert at wasting time by Save/Load Game before going downstairs in a new dungeon floor level and detecting objects, because the entire map level (items included) is randomly generated the moment you go downstairs. Exemple: WTF!! No "Spellbook"?? Load!

This was the first computer game I ever played, I have such nostalgia for this game, I love it, this is better than diablo for me

how do you find all these secret doors?! I never found any so the first thing I used to choose as soon as I could was Phase Door to get to the secret rooms.

@AngrySkwerl I just wanna play this at work...it gets really boring when there's nothing to do. lol

And RAM's not an issue here; the "lamest" laptops have 8GB of RAM. But dude, that does sound difficult...

Thanks for the reply tho. :)

[AngrySkwerl]

@Litox1303 there is a way...but it is INSANELY difficult. I decided just not to bother.

It involves getting ahold of a windows XP disc, then partitioning your hard drive to allow a portion of it to be installed with windows XP...just to play CoTW.

The other way is to use virtual machine, which is a major RAM eater.

At this point...I would say it would be simpler just to go buy a junk computer with windows 95-XP to play it.

AMAZING game though...really wish I could play it.

[Litox1303]

@AngrySkwerl Did you ever figure it out? I wanna play this game again so badly! :(

[nevroth]

STFU! I spent HOURS upon HOURS playing this game back in the day. I love you, marry me!!

This game functions like the fallout games and elder scrolls
