Looking for an old RPG game

I'm desperately trying to find a very old RPG game I once saw my brother playing. Unfortunately, it was a long time ago so I can only remember a couple of things:
- Timeframe is '97-ish, but it seemed like an older game (or maybe it's just retro-style)
- It's played on windows
- You lead one character
- The graphics is bare minimum, pure 2d, a white map with gray borders of "rooms" or areas you are exploring, and character and everything (character, monsters, items) are represented as a bare 2d black&white sketch, and I think the character has a sword
- You control your character on numpad (hence you can move in 8 directions), everything is fogged until you come near enough (i think it was 1-tile radius), when you discover stuff (monsters, items)
- I think you had an interface for using&equipping items, but I'm not sure how it looked

I hope this is enough information to distinguish this game from the others, so maybe who was played/seen it could recognize it, or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance guys
