Like discovering an album from a band you never heard of, which turns out to be one of your favourites of all time. Or picking up a random book and finishing it, amazed at how great it was and keeping it in your collection forever. That is what feeling I got when I found and played Wizards and Warriors. Bought it as a third game in a "3 games for £20" deal at PC World one time, because it looked the most interesting out of a bad sounding bunch, having already secured Deus Ex and Temple of Elemental Evil. So I never played it for years. Then one rainy day when I was sick, I found it still sealed and gave it a try. Turned out to be an absolute quirky gem, with great humour, unique atmosphere and world that made no sense. Relatively difficult, required a few restarts to feel confident I wasn't messing it up .... like one time I kept meaning to return to the villiage to rest and heal, but something always made me press on. Some new looking area, following a trail, etc. I ended up in some swamp with tree houses in an area filled with lizard type mermen who one shot me and there was no escape. Obviously, I'd gone too far. I was poisoned. Out of potions and mana. Nowhere to rest. What an amazing game!
