"Should I play Wiz Gold or CODS??"
I have both.
I CAN get both to run in XP.
Is one better than the other in any way?
Thanks!

1. "No question - CODS"
Gold has bugs, that CODS does not. Gold also took away the use of Diplomacy .. the skill is still there and you can put points in it, but it has no affect on play.

Wizgold also has an automap that appears in a seperate window over WizGold window, and hides during battles or when you are reviewing a character, and runs like a normal Windows-based program, and has a hint guide and manual as well.
other than these differences, both are the same game, so if you really don't mind diplomacy, and like the automap, WizGold, if you want to Truce with NPCs with any success, DOS CoDS.

I've never played WizGold. It looks nicer than CODS, but IIRC, in certain circumstances, it gets terribly slow (on the water), so I'd always play CODS.

I always run Wiz Gold, for the convenience of a Windows program.

If you are running the game for the first time, go with CODS. You need to get information from the NPC's and diplomacy is the only way to chat with them.

After the 2nd or third time, switch to Wiz Gold. You know where the objects are and how the quests run so you don't need diplomacy any more. You get the added bonus of the Mystery Menus (if they work for you) and the fun of hunting down free items like Fang, Amulets of Healing and free Zatoichi Bo's.
