Free DOS(BOX) game on GOG.
 
Chunky 2D graphics. Have to sit through a not amazingly illustrated story intro that doesn't particularly match the rest of the game graphics, and answer a long string of questions from a renfair (it actually uses that term) fortune teller as an annoying form of character creation.
 
During map-based combat, white square constantly flickers around your character. 'p'
 
Interface requires pressing isolated buttons. For instance, at after title screen you have to press "I" to start a new game--this is not marked on-screen, had to look in manual. In combat, bumping enemy (skeleton) didn't work, had to press "A" to attack with my equipped weapon--I guessed that first try, so I suppose that was at least somewhat intuitive.
