Throwing a monster party in Castle of the Winds
Been playing around some Castle of the Winds for Windows 3.1 under DOSBox, and guess what I’ve been doing lately?
I decided to throw my own 8-bit monster party that includes animated statues, scorpions, bears, spiders, ants and other kinds of bad guys and monster. I’m now getting close to getting ready for part 2 of the game, but that’ll have to wait until either tomorrow or whenever I feel like playing Castle of the Winds again.
Current Weekend Spot: Beating Skyrim for Windows 3.11
Last night I decided to take a break from working on my SFM project for right now and play some Castle of the Winds in Windows 3.11 under DOSBox, and so far I have fought my way through 187 monsters scattered around in different areas and finally got to the notoriously Evil Hill Giant Leader known as Hrungnir:
I have successfully defeated Hrungnir, the Hill Giant leader, and his ogre henchmen just by shooting some Fireballs at them. After defeating Hrungnir I grabbed the Amulet of Kings from his dead body. It’s a special kind of amulet that lets me use the item in order to beat the game:
That was only the first part of the game. So now I’m at the point where I must get everything ready for the second part of the game right now, and I’ll be able to move on to Part 2 as soon I got all the stuff that I need.
Playing around some Castle of the Winds
Last night I’ve been doing some Castle of the Winds in Windows 3.11 under DOSBox since it’s been a long time since I played it during the Windows XP years. Here’s a screenshot of what the gameplay looks like in the game:
So far I have made some good progress. I have journeyed my way along the highway that leads to the village of Bjarnarhaven since the village at the very beginning of the game got mysteriously burned down. I am now currently in Fortress level 4 of this game, but I’ll plan going to the fifth Fortress Level whenever I feel like playing Castle of the Winds again. 🙂
