I agree there is a big difference in Wiz and M&M games. Always has been. But mainly in style, not attitude. Early M&M were quite difficult but I like the new ones for different reasons. M&M2 was terrific but seemes dated, graphics wise, now. Ultima 4 ranked up there with M&M2, perhaps better, also poor graphics by todays standards. Wizardry 7 is still the best RPG in the old style, and had a few innovations of its own (Wiz 6 is a close follow up). I loved to change classes, probably overdid that thing. All of these games were difficult. Lost much time exploring and trying to decode riddles or solves mazes. Wizards and Warriors does follow in the same foot steps. They didn't have forums to cheat with in those old games. You kept trying everything, and talking to friends who played, and trying to enlist new friends who would try, etc. This game is a bit buggy but OK by me...
