Castle of the Winds I: A Question of Vengeance
A fantasy adventure game for early Windows operating systems, Castle of the Winds was notable for its randomly generated dungeons, which were populated by monsters “borrowed” from Dungeons & Dragons, which was possible thanks to its simplistic graphics.

It’s a top-scroller that uses a “Your move-My move” system. This is multiplied about 30 times because every enemy on the level is allowed a move for every one of yours, but they don’t all know where you are right away. It has a good and somewhat optional storyline, for the replay factor. When you create a new character you can distribute ability points between three characteristics, and select their gender and name. The levels and weapon abilities are randomly generated for an extremely high replay value.
