Welcome to the world of Castles. As a lord or lady of the realm, you've built the castle of your dreams, battled bloodthirsty dragons, engaged in brutal treachery, sent troops abroad to war, and defended your land against marauding enemies. But they're still not happy. Maybe you shouldnt have poured hot oil on their heads...?
The price really doesn't match what you are getting. It is exactly the game you played in 1991 and it needs to use DOS box to even play. This should be a dollar game or even freeware at this point.
