Do you really think re-releasing Wiz 1 would generate interest in Wiz 8? I don't - they are worlds apart ... I am eagerly awaiting Wiz 8, but can't stand to play Wiz 1 anymore. It still holds a lot of nostalgic value for me, but that is about it.Even if they were to re-release Wiz 7 (for today's 500 Mhz machines), without redoing at least all of the graphics (read spend a lot of time and money), I still think that would be a waste of time. The only interest that would generate (on any scale) is a resurgence of interest in that product, not the future one (IMHO).
As to whether or not Sir-tech reads this board, I can't say for sure, but I can say:
1) they know it exists
2) no one from there was spending work time surfing my site last week (I don't look at that stat every week)
If they do visit this site, I doubt it would be to the Wiz 1 board. Maybe you should post this under the Wiz 8 board as a possible question to them.
