Castles II may be interesting due to it's strategic elements (although there were far more engrossing strategic titles available in '92), Castles I was far more enjoyable despite only building one castle at a time.
Watching peon's actually build your castle was fantastic and being attacked before your castle was complete (and thus having missing sections that enemy forces could storm) added a great deal to the gameplay. Despite the additions that Interplay made for the sequel, the original was a vastly superior game.
