This reminded me of an old DOS game I used to play called Castle Adventure. I'd almost forgotten about it. Apparently, the original programmer was just 14 when he made it and the source was stolen and sold by some other companies.

Yeah, OK, one more game where you slaughter defenseless little goblins.

Jail goblin sympathizers!
