I haven't been thinking much on gaming over the past week, but you reminded me that a couple weeks ago I started up the old classic for Windows 3.11...

Castle of the Winds

I've got it in a savestate in a virtual machine right now. Despite the game looking like it was drawn by a 5 year old and not having any audio whatsoever, it's actually a pretty good game for 1993 when it was made and released.
