Castle of the Winds: old rpg game, very fun, now freeware

This came up in another thread, so I decided to post a link to where you can download it.  It\'s a very fun game, very basic. Will probably be a trip down memory lane for some of you.

Many thanks!

It\'s not moved back, a ghosted copy is just kept in General Discussion that forwards readers here :) In case someone goes looking for the thread in its original location.

I\'m on a laptop which doesn\'t have the \"normal\" numeric keypad, and using the Page Down / Up / Home / etc. keys in its place was awkward - but you can move your avatar perfectly by clicking and dragging into the directions you want to travel.

I don\'t remember if it\'s possible to change the keys though... it\'s been a while.


Oh, by the way....



Have fun the first time you fight one of these guys. :-D
