Philandros (8 posts) Nov-04-07, 10:14 PM (Pacific) "Emulated Wizardry 5 question" 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?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

His email is at the top of the page: http://www.lava.net/~jh/wizardry/ Tools for Wizardry(r) 7   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Emulated Wizardry 5 question" LAST EDITED ON Feb-20-09 AT 08:55 PM (Pacific) 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.

"RE: Emulated Wizardry 5 question" > You can download good copies from here: > ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/rpg 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? > Also there are 3 Wizardry scenarios based on the Wizardry 1 > game engine here on my site: > http://www.iosphere.net/~eric/wizardry/ 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? >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. 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.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Snafaru (35 posts) Dec-27-07, 00:08 AM (Pacific) 8. "RE: Emulated Wizardry 5 question" 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. Snafaru   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
