Never played Wizardry 1, but I played Might & Magic 1 and Bard's Tale 1... do those count [img]smile.gif[/img] I have played a couple of the later Wizardrys...
And like Willow says, don't worry about the fact that you couldn't hit the side of a barn with another barn... your weapon skills do improve as time goes on. Always makes it challenging when you start replaying... taking a new party and where you used to be able to kill a MWoR, you suddenly can, if you're lucky, scratch a measly little Worgur
Just keep plugging away, and you'll get there!
