sphynx (14 posts) Sep-24-17, 05:15 AM (Pacific) "Getting back to Wiz on Windows 10" I'm getting that itch to play again, but am on Windows 10. Has anyone found a way to get Wiz to work on Win10 yet? And if so, can I get some instructions and links please?   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The trouble was finding the w7 download somewhere that didn't feel like a virus planting site... I ended up getting it from bestoldgames.net Tried a virtual drive for Gold (so I could play from CD), but had .dll problems, so W7 it is.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

"RE: Getting back to Wiz on Windows 10" Well, there is a tread on this forum entitled (11 years old ?) : "Instructions how to setup the Wizardry Gold in DOSBOX" and it is still available : http://www.softwarespecialties.com/dcforum/DCForumID6/1158.html It is supposed to give instruction how to setup a copy of Win 3.1 running in DosBox, which can then run WizGold. Never tried it, considering WizGold an inferior product (versus W7 for DOS). Still, it is worth mentioning as a curiosity and it is another example how people cared of this game.

emeraldFN (29 posts) Oct-28-17, 01:34 AM (Pacific) 4. "RE: Getting back to Wiz on Windows 10" I once managed to get Norton Commander working for Dosbox. Just with three clicks I find a list of my games in "Oldgames" folder. Thereafter it functions like Windows Explorer (or Dos). This may be the link: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-use-Nortons-Commander-in-DosBox-to-play-ga/   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
