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. 🙂
Some 8-Bit Medieval Fun
Last week I’ve been playing another Steam game that I’ve never played before. It’s called Kingdom: Classic. It’s a game where you play as a royalty riding a horse, and you go around collecting coins and then giving them to people or objects to build, purchase, upgrade, and acquire certain things while trying to survive as long as possible.
I’d say this is a good game to play, and what I like about it is the 8-bit graphics that kinda remind me of Broforce, and also a dark-colored horse that I found by the wooden fence:
I managed to get two achievements while playing this game. One for surviving day 5, and the other for surviving day 10.
