'''Castle of the Winds''' (CW) is a tile-based [[roguelike]] computer game for [[Windows]] 3.x. It was developed by [[SaadaSoft]] and published by [[Epic MegaGames]] in [[1989]]. The game is composed of two parts: A Question of Vengeance, released as shareware, and Lifthransir's Bane, sold commercially. A combined license for both parts was also sold. The game differs from most roguelikes in a number of ways. Its interface is mouse-dependent, but supports keyboard shortcuts. Castle of the Winds also allows the player to restore saved games after dying. | '''Castle of the Winds''' (CW) is a tile-based [[roguelike]] computer game for [[Windows]] 3.x.
