The original designer of the Wizardry series was D W Bradley, I believe he designed all the Wizardry from 1 through 7 and had an early hand in Wizardry 8. Bradley designed W & W and so thats why they feel the same sort of games.
Personally I did feel the W&W was far more a D W Bradley game. W* while an excellent game, and one that I have enjoyed, lacks comething that is present in W7 and W&W.
Most notably the NCP characterisations of W8 are very weak whereas they are strong in W&W and W7, a hallmark of Bradley's style.
