Wizardry!!! Man that was the best.

I mean, Wizardry 8 was just an incredible flop, but their last great one VII, Crusaders of the Dark Savant… oof. Fantastic! And it was just a few 3½” floppy disks. Amazing. Back when Sir-Tech existed.

I liked Wiz 8 much more than I did any of the earlier ones

Really? I could never even get it to run.

The fighting could get tedious(often and repetitive) but the skill tree and classes were truly great in my opinion. Felt like a true accomplishment when I finally beat it. I could have had tech issues back in the day…way to long ago for me to remember but it when it came to getting games to run, I was pretty tenacious.

These days, Steam or GOG just make old games to work. I replayed D&D SSI games from the early 90’s recently without a problem.

Mobile? Really?

I know wizzardy is a big foundational game from the beginning, but I’ve never played them and they sounded very grindy. I’m curious about a mobile game, but I will wait for reviews.
