Castles

Castles fills me with nostalgia, but the DOSBox version sold here crashes on my Windows 8.1 machine and isn't worth the trouble of trying to troubleshoot beyond what I already have. If you can get it to work for more than thirty minutes at a time or so it might be worth it for you.

Цель игры построить замок и продержаться всё его строительство. Строишь его и попутно воюешь с теми, кто с этим строительством несогласен. Замок построен - игра пройдена.

This has been one of my favorite games since it first came out. I love the game enough that paying $10 to have it on Steam was worth it to me. You can easily get it for free online, but this prepackaged DOS box and being able to play without having to mess with configs to get it working is always nice. If you've played it before or really really love castle building games, it's worth it. Keep in mind, it is a game from 1991. I did have one crash mid-game, but as long as you are saving regularly, this will have little to no impact. One bonus, the save/load function in this version seems to work better than it did in the original game. I ran into several issues with the original release with saves not actually saving after a crash or exit, but this version doesn't seem to have that issue. SIDE NOTE: For reference I'm running Windows 10. I noticed one other reviewer mentioned issues with Windows 8.1. I can't speak to how well or poorly this will run on any other OS, but on Windows 10 at least, seems to run fine.

If you're feeling nostalgic about this game, it's a fun throwback, but very overpriced

Pure nostalgia. It might be a harder game for a new player to approach as it certainly shows it's age from the 90s. I was very young when I played this game but remembered it fondly so I was excited to see it make it on Steam. For the price, I would wait for it to be on sale. $10 is a steep price for new players to experience the game.

Just like the original, it freezes and crashes as soon as your about half way through building your castle. Shame.

Ein absoluter Klassiker. Läuft in der mitgelieferten DOS-Box fehler- und konfigurationsfrei. War damals schon eines meiner absoluten Lieblingsspiele und heute auch noch. Tip: Lautstärke runter drehen.

Nce game but there is way to little for you to do. Just play Castles II instead.
