Getting Started in Digital Eclipse’s Remake of Wizardry, Part 2: The First Level
It occurs to me that it might be a good idea to explain what playing Wizardry is like. There was once a time when this basically was what a CRPG was. JRPGs obscured that grea

Getting Started in DE’s Remake of Wizardry I
Wizardry hates you

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, a.k.a. Wizardry I, is a classic and venerable CRPG from the early days of computer gaming. It's thought to be the very first computer RPG where you played as a party of more than one character. Even the early PLA

Blade & Bastard, the (recent) Wizardry Manga
One recent thing I learned is that Wizardry, the CRPG series began in 1981, that hasn't seen a new version from its creators since 2001, not only has seen Japanese sequels that faithfully follow the original style, but starting in 2022 and continuing today is a manga faithfully

Snafaru’s Wizardry Fanpage
Snafaru's Wizardry Fanpage is a lot newer than most of the sites that get featured here under the Oldweb heading (see left/above), the earliest viewable version of the site on the Wayback Machine is from 2011, practically a baby at 13 years old. Yet it has some renown: I mentioned that I was playing Digital Eclipse's wonderful r

If that email interface doesn't scream 90s, I don't know what will! And wait until you see their website. Straight out of Frontpage Express. Uh… that was a horrible "WYSIWYG" website editor from Microsoft in case you don't remember. #JaggedAlliance2, the game in which this virtual mail application and those virtual websites appear, has aged a bit better, thankfully.

Which Version of Wizardry 1 to Play?
Let's keep rolling with these Youtube finds. There's millions of them, but most of them are obnoxious, with the emphasis on noxious, so I try only to repost here the best. And this one's pretty informative.

Which version of the classic foundational JRPG Wizardry should you play? I'm going to emphasize that

Wizardry used to be the most popular computer game in the world.

It has fallen on hard times recently. Creators SirTech released the terrific Wizardry 8 but then almost immediately closed up. The name is currently owned by a Japanese developer, who make games in the classic style but they're still quite different, chasing old ghosts instead of trying to
