He plays it in DOS, but I think there's a windows version available. Cool stuff.

Windows download, 405mb+. DOS download?, 2mb.

What a strange discrepancy.

If I had to guess, it probably includes dosbox.

Hi there,
I'm the author of Gates Of Integrity.
No, the Windows version doesn't include DOSBox. I developed 2 very different versions and (re)learned to be memory effective with the DOS version. ;-)

This might explain a great deal about what's wrong with modern gamedev.
And one way to improve.

Nice, don't even need the itch.io account I already deleted.

I remember this one, this is the one with the monster portraits that look nothing like the monsters they're supposed to represent—some kind of avantgarde thing.

In my D&D world, Kobolds are furry, half-feral little Goblins and I make the scalies like yor avatar into dragonkin "Draklings".

My Goblinoids:
• Kobolds - smart but pretty crazy furry little savages - unwanted mutation sometimes expressed in Gremlins (breeds true)
• Gremlins - smaller, dull-witted - bred to be servants/scut workers
• Goblins - very smart and magic aligned - creators of all the other kinds before the war that wiped out their civilization
• Hobgoblins - larger, dull-witted and servile - bred as infantry and heavy laborers
• Bugbears - large furry reasonably smart psychopath barbarians - bred as shock troops but the mutations got away from the goblin magecrafters
• Trolls - very large stupid savages - malevolent, violent, and hard to kill - created as super soldiers but got out of control - main cause of downfall of Goblin civilization (along with Bugbears and Kobolds)
