Yes! Another minion of Bucky Katt. The BKA (Bucky Katt Alliance) is slowly trying to overthrow Choc's rule on IW. We are just like Bucky, we fight for world (or in this case IW) domination.

Secondly, get Wiz7 if possible. Believe me, you will never get bored. And I do not jest, without any help, it would take year maybe half a year to a year to complete.

How bad are the grapgics? The price on ebay ain't all that cheap.

Wizardry 7 might be a good idea, but what about the games story?
Also only fights and so few quests?
Is there still help available in the web?

The graphics are pretty old, the game was made in the late 80's. Wiz 7 is the story of obtaining the Astral Dominae, and where the Dark Savant is first introduced. It is one big search to find the location of the Astral Dominae.

..and I believe I would need some sort of Dosbox or some such thing to run it, is that right?

You should buy "Wizardry archives" which contains ALL wizardry games exept nr 8. Also, there's Wizardry Gold (contained in the archives, I mean), which is Wizardry 7 for windows. There's much help available on the net, check tk421.net for a complete walkthough and info on all wizardry games. Graphics are... well, they are there, but the game is like, 10 years old or so. But MUCH fun, definitely a better story than Wiz 8, really tricky riddles, enemy parties who try to get stuff before you... man, it's really, really good, try it!

Oh, yeah, there's a bug in, I think the diplomacy skill or so. Check that out before you play...

Just tried it myself, Wizardry 7 (not Gold) seems to run fine in dosbox. I'd do that, the bug isn't in there, and I think it works a bit better in several areas. I might just start Wiz 7 myself again...

Like I said, I'm playing FF5 with an emulator now. How would the graphics compare to that SNES game?

When was there ever a bug? Diplomacy works fine for me. But then again I've had the game since it was in retail. Is it the new versions with a bug or no.

Pyrates 09-19-2004 12:21 PM

The bug is just in Wizardry Gold, not in Wizardry 7. Check http://vnboards.ign.com/Official_Wiz...40/56357652/?9
to get an explanation.

As for FF5, you mean http://ff.warcry.com/scripts/images/...id=591&site=58 ? Wiz 7 has by no means the same quality... or does it look differently on the SNES? Give me a link, please, google isn't really helping...

Cheers
