Realms of Arkania. The three were Blade of Destiny, Star Trail, and Shadows Over Riva. Each one had very different interfaces. Riva's engine was pretty similar to Wiz8 but a bit more basic. I actually found I liked the Blade of Destiny better than the others. The other two were too linear for my tastes but Blade was more like Wiz 7 in that you had a lot more options of where you wanted to go until you got close to the endgame. My least favorite of the three was Star Trail because I kept feeling like I was being forced along one particular path. That wasn't so bad in Riva, though you definitely had fewer options after certain things happened.
