This game has class, still enjoying it. W&W was very close to getting it right. The early games (80's and beyond) were fun but the graphics were limited by the tech. Playability made up for lack of high polygon counts, or more than 4 colors, etc. My first was with an Apple 2 version of the "Wizard and the Princess" (forerunner to KQ series) while working on a PhD in 1982 or thereabouts I didn't eventually get in theoretical chemistry. I can't blame it on games alone, but it was a distraction. I was, and still am, my own worst enemy. Not that I don't have some real enemies, somewhere. I try to avoid them. I was playing music in a band at the time, and writing (still doing both). So I have a word of caution to those in school and playing great games like Wiz 8. Find a way to discipline yourself!!! Quick! Before you are doomed. If you want that degree. Otherwise, have a great day...(BTW, found a job that pays well, for now and the last 17 years, would have been overqualed with a higher degree). Such is life. 47, Baltimore, USA The 3 cats say hi.
