Although Wiz 8 is awesome, and my favorite RPG, Wiz 7 was slightly better and Wiz 6 was close. Why? Wiz 7 was harder, you REALLY had to think. The graphics were adequate for the time. I still think they are good enough even now to give you the feel of being there. Poor by today's standards, but the game play was excellent! And you could change classes to your heart's content. Of course, you could over do it and be left with weak characters at the end, or waste too much time in class building of newly raised characters. Wiz 6 had some of the great challenge of Wiz 7. Worse graphics, but CPRG are not so much about graphics as much as growth of your characters. If you choose wrongly, you feel like playing again from the start with a new group. Wizards and Warriors did many things right, and the graphics are comparable to Wiz 8, but it has a bigger annoyance factor from the interface and need to visit cities to level up, IMO. W&W is closer to the earlier games I love, but Wiz 8 has it great moments. Gee, I'm talking myself into a tie of Wiz 7, 8 and W & W.
