Title: Wizardry 1 - 5
Post by: MNKyDeth on October 30, 2015, 04:16:34 AM
I know these games are ranked in the 80% english category in the forums but is there a story? An in depth one that spans all 5 games? I love RPG stories but I need to understand them to enjoy them, is that possible if there is one?

I am curious as Wizardry was one of the games I wanted back on the PC but never got and was wondering if it is worthwhile on the Duo.

The first 4 games there is a story that connects them (the 4th one being the best) and the 5th one connects with Wizardry 5-8. This site goes into more detail:

And they will wipe your save ram if you select the moon runes for "no I like my rams".

f*ckin' game. Good thing all I had was my cho aniki highscores.
That's why I backed everything up on those PCE Tennokoe Bank cards. Helps a lot.

even the 72ppi DEII back insert JPG? :lol:

I didn't lose much, really.  Just games I'd beat and probably wouldn't play other than to start over anyway.

Nah, that I would save for my dot matrix printers that still has your name on them. :P
Anyway, MNKYDeth, if you like dungeon crawlers, these games rock and roll. Especially 4 as I have stated time and time again. :)

I wonder if TTI ever got anything done on a translation for 1 & 2.  Does anyone know if the script for the PCE game had added dialogue or text in any fashion compared to the original 2 games?

I do enjoy dungeon crawlers. Especially these old school kind. I think it was last month or the month before I bought the entire Dungeons and Dragons Gold box collection on gog.com for PC.

So yeah, I had a couple of them when younger but not all of them. I been planning on playing each in order at some point. I remember just running around for hours, days and prolly months in Dungeon Hack doing nothing, just exploring. Not sure if that game ever had an end.
