I am looking for this old game, not sure how old.

It was at least several years ago, i used it on one of my old computers. Either a windows 95 or a windows xp, not sure which.
Basically, you had a grid full of squares, and you had to explore them. You would find items and gold and monsters, and you had to defeat a dungeon boss at the end.
There was a basic combat interface for fighting the monsters, like an attack button and stuff. You could also get potions that did stuff like heal you.

I think my head will explode if i can't remember the name, i think it was something to do with a maze.

Thanks in advance.

hmm, could be literally thousands of games. Anything more specific/distinctive?

Sorry, not really. I think there was a bit at the end where the boss guy shoots a fireball...
And you have to fight snakes and ghosts and stuff.
Sorry, but i really can't remember much, i was pretty young at the time.

oh, just remembered, you could get a weapon called the holy hand grenade, which is a bit more specific, i think.

Moraff's World? Moraff's Revenge? They both have the holy hand grenade. Was it a 3D game?

Worms Armegeddon had a holy hand grenade in it.

no, it wasn't 3d, i'm pretty sure about that.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't worms, either =/

I'm leaning towards this one too.

That's top down?

I've spent more hours playing Moraff's World than you've probably spent playing all dos games combined. It's not top-down, it's 3D.

It's an automap. :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure larry was... ah, fuck it.

I'm sure you think Doom is a top down game too, right? And Morrowind? And System Shock?

The point is it's an (at least partially) 3D game, so it doesn't match the guest's description.
