A legendary RPG classic of mind-blowing proportions.

Wizardry 6+7, a pack of two DOS-era RPG games with first-person perspective, grid-based movement, huge gameworlds, and way over 500 hours of hard-core gameplay in total, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

Some say that a quill is more powerful than the sword. In most cases they can be proved wrong by a any hot-tempered, half-naked barbarian wielding a crude two-handed blade. In this case, however, we're talking about a quill that is the most powerful artifact in the whole universe. It's called The Cosmic Forge, for it has the ability to rewrite reality itself, making its wielder omnipotent. This is what's at stake, at this is what you'll be after. But as if laying your hands on this treasure wasn't difficult enough, there's an ominous force hiding in the shadows, trying to reach the goal before you do and turning the whole of the world against you. All this is but the main thread in the epic campaign bringing together fantasy and Sci-Fi in a world that could have only be spawned to existence in the early 1990s. Behold the first two games in the Dark Savant trilogy!

Wizardry 6+7 bundles together Wizardry 6: The Cosmic Forge and Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant to bring you over 500 hours of challenging gameplay that defined what we now call classic computer RPG. Once you create your party of brave adventurers, recruited among the most fantastic races and taking on some of the most awesome professions, prepare to spend a whole lot of time with them, as you'll be taking them from the first game in the trilogy up to the last one. This is a challenging game, the one the [url=http://www.rpgcodex.net" target="_blank]RPG codex[/url] might have warned you about, so prepare for something you have never experienced before--or, if you played it back in the day, to relive some of your best gaming memories. With tons of content and old-school goodness it's a piece of gaming history you just need to have in your collection.

Are you ready? If you think you can handle a game so huge, or you simply want to forget about the world for weeks, or even months, grab Wizardry 6+7 for only $5.99.

Oh, and by the way: Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant comes in two versions in this package: the original DOS release, and the revamped Windows Wizardry GOLD edition. The choice is yours!

JMich: Or more specifically, users messing with the release threads, thus forcing the poor blues to try and contain it. Yes, funny occurence, but at least blame the ones who made the mess. That does include me as well.
I think it's about time GOG overhauled these forums anyway
Will release Wizardy I to IV as well?

Don't forget V. ;)

AFAIK, those games are in legal limbo due to an old legal disagreement between one of the creators of the first five Wizardry games, Andrew Greenberg, and Sir-Tech.

Which is probably why Wiz 6-8 have a new scenario. It's a great thing that we got those today. :)

This was an instabuy for me. Don't know if I will ever find the time to play it again (it seems with the playtime I have these days, the Might and Magic series will keep me occupied for years), but it's good to have it in the backlog.

Are the Wizardry games as good as everyone says? I'm guessing the answer might just be a unanimous 'yes', but I'm curious what makes them so loved; I completely missed these first time round! And does it hurt to not play 1-5 first?
no it doesn't hurt since 6-8 are a separate story arc, which is for the best Wizardry 3 and 4 are pains to play. 4 is just sadistic and to this day the one of the most brutal rpgs ever made, 3 is a bitch for different reasons since you need to have either 2 separate parties, one good and one evil since good can only access the even number floors while evil can only access the odd, that or you need to do a alignment shift every floor..this is made even worse by the fact you can not create your own party, you have to import them from Wizardry 1 or 2. This also makes it extra annoying since if your party dies your boned and have to go back to 1 or 2 again.
nvm

Indeed. I'm as productive as a starfish today because of that damn weather.

Oh yeah, also: AWESOME release!
My mind needs a different genre to be blown, but this is certainly as classic as it gets, so yay!

Echoing Kabus, what are the chances of getting the rest of the series here? The completionist in me can't stand not going in order.

Actually you could in the Ultimate Wizardry Archive version (but you couldn't in the original). Which didn't help with Wizardry II anyway, since the game was balanced for a party starting with lvl 10+ characters.

The installer includes an advertising about Wizardry Online. Wizardry Online on GOG or just advertising from the IP holders?

Thank you, that's very helpful! :) Wizardry 3 sounds a nightmare, though...

Even though Wizardry Online looks awesome and we're happy to advertise, GOG.com does not offer MMO. It's only an installer ad.
Wizardry Gold , a 1996 remake of Wizardry 7, had extensive speech and more colorful character portraits, things that were missing from the original game. Will GOG ever release that as well?
