"I just won Wizardry 7 on E-Bay!"
LAST EDITED ON Jun-14-04 AT 03:57 PM (Pacific)

So now I'll finally be able to create my own import party for Wiz-8!

How much did this nifty item set me back? $2.00(with the optional insurance and shipping it'll be $5.80)

I'm so happy.

That's good. I was going to find me a copy, but I bought a box full of C64 games, and I'm bidding on a trio of laptops. I'll look around after I get through with that.

2. "Well, my happiness took a nosedive..."
I tried to install it on my PC and couldn't get it to run. My partner came home and did some mods and was able to get it up and running but it runs wayyyyyy too slow - even on my fast machine.

It's a DOS game so it won't work too well on Win-DOH'S!

look for DOSbox at http://dosbox.sourceforge.net and try that, if you have a Ghz+ computer (takes a lot of power to run a whole DOS based computer on a computer that runs Windows as well)

Sorry did not mean to send you to E-bay for it and it is INDEED a darn good game, in some ways easier anf some ways harder than Wiz8 but I should have told you about "the complete Wizardry archives" on amazon.com which contains all wizardry's except wiz8.

I saw them. Unfortunately, if I couldn't run Wiz-8 on this computer I'm sure I wouldn't be able to run the rest of them.

If you check the 3rd reply you'll see the answer to that. Be advised Wiz1-5 are your old CRPG with NO automapping. You'll have to go out to fan sites for the dungeon maps or (if you are a purist ) graph paper.
