01:40 🔗 DFJustin joepie91: I'm a pretty big dos game fan
01:43 🔗 joepie91 DFJustin: alright... the game I'm thinking of, as far as I can (very vaguely) remember it, was a turn-based game with floating gray-ish platforms (tiles) above a black void
01:43 🔗 joepie91 it had wizards and druids I'm pretty sure, although I can't remember the exact gameplay mechanics
01:43 🔗 joepie91 it had some scenery elements, but the tile layout was very present
01:44 🔗 joepie91 an isometric-ish view, not sure if really isometric or just looking at it from the front but a higher angle
01:44 🔗 joepie91 does that ring any bells?
