Play Wizardry 7 DOS version instead...

Wizardry 6 was a blast, I ended up playing through it twice. Wizardry 7 Gold does not work properly, and seems inferior to me, so make sure you play the DOS version instead. I found Wizardry 7 to be a little too vague and open ended in comparison to 6, so I eventually burned out to finishing it. It does have much better graphics and different environments, but there was something about 6 I found more entertaining. The sound effects/music in both games is repetitive and I ended up muting it entirely in Wizardry 7 (this also seemed to speed up the fights when it didn't have to play the "FIGHT STARTING" music). That being said, you just don't really find games anymore that blend so many different aspects of folklore, culture, mythology, etc., into one game. At one moment you're fighting giant creeper vines, in the next skeleton warriors, a dinosaur, and even ninja/samurais. The story keeps you interested enough to push on in 6, but a lot of times in 7 I kept wondering what was going on, who is this race of alien/people and why do they hate each other. Some of the puzzles are very cryptic and I wonder what the expectation was in figuring them out back in the pre-internet days. You see more of this in 7 rather than 6, which is pretty straightforward. On the whole, if you're the type not to get turned away by older graphics, they are both very fun games that should keep you occupied for a long time. I didn't even mention character creation and the class system which in themselves was very fun to learn and enjoyable to play. Definitely worth your time.

Brought me into computer gaming

These are 2 of the best games ever made. Once I played Wizardry 6, I was hooked for life. They are very hard but worth the time to explore these worlds. A word to the wise, you might spend hours rolling your characters trying to get just the right stats.

Wiz7 is a top-five game of all time

Wizardry 7, Crusaders of the Dark Savant, feels like an early-90s game. But in all the years since, I've never found its particular mix: an open, nonlinear world full of surprises and hidden side quests; a rich, genre-crossing plot that spills off the edges of the page; and most uniquely, NPCs who move unpredictably around that world with their own agendas, fighting and permanently killing one another as you follow rumors and cast spells in an effort to chase the right ones down. Some similar RPGs: the early Fallouts, Ultima Underworld, Knights of the Old Republic. All very good, but none in quite the same way. I played it when I was 12 or so, and my imagination no longer seems interested in lingering long enough inside a game to imbue it with the magic it could at the time. But it'll always be precious to me. 25 years later, with several playthroughs over the years, I still somehow find myself thinking about this game and its sequel (Wiz8, similar and also good) almost once a week or so.

Pure Madness

A blast from the days past, when some games were unbeatable without either a step-by-step guide or hundreds of hours sunk into them. Wizardry 7in particular stands out as one of the most epic games in scope, and only the most determined players will ever beat it. I could not, despite more than a hundred hours of playing, but I still had incredible fun. Nothing today offers a comparable experience. Nothing at all.

Wizardry 6+7

I played Wiz6 on Amiga, I remember the audio being much better than the DOS version I played later so I could create a party of characters to import into Wiz7. I played these games across operating systems, mapped every square of the grid based map and just played it until I could navigate vast sections without paying attention to the screen. Nearly all the puzzles are logical & can be figured out sensibly, but there were a couple where you just had to experiment with the objects in your inventory (Ah! So that's what that stick is for!). You might not be impressed by the graphics or sound now but there is still a depth of gameplay that shames a lot of modern games.
