I was able to a get an Apple II computer emulator, and copies of Wizardry's I-V from this site, I believe.

http://www.lava.net/~jh/wizardry/emu.html

Has anyone else done this?

When I run my copy of Wizardry V, I notice that I can't use my Equip feature! I can do all of the other things, but Equip simply refuses to do anything. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a solution?

If you don't get an answer here, you might try emailing the guy at that site. His email is at the top of the page: http://www.lava.net/~jh/wizardry/

Tools for Wizardry(r) 7

Okay, I've asked him. I'm awaiting a reply.

And I got a failure notice. Looks like his email address is outdated. I await anyone else's advice.

How about trying Wizardry 5 from the Ultimate Wizardry Archives and running it in Dosbox (a DOS emulator)?

That sounds like it might be worth trying. Thanks for the suggestion!

You can download good copies from here:

ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/rpg

Also there are 3 Wizardry scenarios based on the Wizardry 1 game engine here on my site:

http://www.zimlab.com/wizardry/

The Wizardry 1 from the Ultimate Wizardry Archive has a major leveling bug in it, you would be better off with Apple II version which on top on not having that bug it has 16 colours instead of the 4 colours of the IBM version.

Thanks, but I don't have Power Archiver. Why couldn't he have made zip files instead? Is there anyway you know of to get the same files in what for me is a more accessible form?

Cool! Thanks! I'll see if I can give those a try.

How were they based off of the Wiz 1 game engine? Do they use the very same engine, or is this a speculative recreation of the engine?

Fortunately, my Apple emulated copy of Wiz I works great. Just like old times! I only have problems with Wiz V and Wiz IV that I know.

No need for power archiver, this is a straigh download from a ftp site, just use WinZip and/or WinRar to decompress.

Exact same engine, only the content is changed by either directly editing the bytes for some tasks and using other special programs to make editing the bytes a lot easier for other tasks.

Everything is on the ftp site mentionned above, but if you plan to create a scenario be ready to spend hundreds of hours doing it.
