- I completely forgo the pre-made characters, because bad characters are bad, and make my own really good party.
I then do town stuff, buy equipment, and show a few battles before calling it a day.
=============================================================
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
Are you ready to step into the world of Wizardry? Unmatched by an other fantasy role-playing game, the Wizardry Gaming System allows for unlimited combinations of strategies and tactics, so that each quest into the Maze is always fresh and interesting.
Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the first Wizardry scenario. Starting in the Castle, you assemble one of six adventurers to explore the magic and mystery of the ten-level 3-D Maze. Your characters may be one of five races and eight professions, each with strengths and weaknesses.
Under your command, brawny warriors, frail magis, pious clerics, and nimble thieves accumulate experience and treasure. As your characters gain experience, they develop greater capabilities to become even better adventurers, allowing them to venture deeper into the Maze.
Be wary! The treacherous Maze has some tricks and traps of its own. Hundreds of monsters, many with magical powers equal to your own; pits; chutes; rotating rooms; teleporters; special one-of-a-kind surprises; and much more will keep you on your toes for many hours of fun. May luck and good fortune be your companions!

I recently started playing the PlayStation version of this game and the advice concerning the inn made me let out a huge sigh because of all the gold I could have saved had I known that. So thank you for that information, I will put it to good use!
Very good video
Yo man have captured my Heart. This game I remember in the 90's and I remember it well.
I love this game too.
I was just looking for a video on this and you popped up in my notifications. Nice.
For a long time I would say this game was in my top five favorite retro games. But it's still an experience with Incredible music, battle damaged enemies and nostalgia.
From the bottom of my hearth, thanks for uploading this man.
Hells yes! Sweet childhood memories!
This was my first RPG, and it did its job! Years later and I still love the genre
Wizardry sounds interesting
I really respect you for covering this series.
This video completely changed my perspective of the game. Bravo Indie Gamer Retro!
Good job bro!
I started buying wizardry 8 because of this video
This game was my introduction to rpg. I needed it.
I remember this game I had graph paper and counted every step....and drew every step..
Love the video, I'm glad you sharing my fav game.
I look forward to seeing more
We had the first two Wizardry games on Apple2c. I still have the NES version.
I have this one, Wizardry II for NES, Wizardry V for SNES, and Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land for PS2. I'm going to try and get all of them at some point if I can.
Awesome work, can't wait for the future videos!
Oh man, the memories.
Glad to see you posting an episode every week man! Keep up the good work.
Wizardry would be amazing with the great tabletop RPG ROLEMASTER!
Amazing battle theme...... wow i loved it
Old but stil gold
Thank you for this amazing video! Great memories
I am interested in seeing you continue
I love this game and I don't think it looks bad, I think it looks charmingly
Good job I feel like you do with old games beating me up
I’m a new sub as of a few weeks ago. Thanks for the vid and keep up the good work!
Dude! My dad got mad when my brother let me play this!
Those look so good gameplay!
Great video and never heard of this game. Looks challenging and happy Halloween
I love these videos
I still remember beating this game. It was one of the easiest and simplest games ever.
Too easy, yes. but I enjoyed it. The battle music tho is the BEST in the series IMO
I would totally play this.
Freaking amazing!
OK, I need to play this.
Races: humans can become Ninjas (needs 17 in all stats) respec from thief... and ninjas are broken af if you level well. Or luck into finding the dagger that lets you convert a thief to ninja with restarting level.
Samurai, Lords and Bishops: best if you sink a ton of time leveling a caster then respecing after you get the stats.
Stats: the most I've started with is, iirc, 25 or 28.
I may be mistaken in thinking only humans can be ninjas... I think maybe I made my thieves human because at respec your stats revert to base for race and humans have 8 in all, easiest to get back up.
Oh, and "Bishop" is the pc name for wizards on nes
I think technically any race can be a ninja if you get all their stats to 17, but I've only really tried it with humans, as they had a tendency to build their stats up faster and more evenly.
Whizardy!
If is still difficult to hear because of the music 😉
Looks like someone did a remake in RPG maker.
Very cool, I've never played Wizardry myself. I've been a bigger fan of console RPG's.
Oh god, I love this game
Make more!!
Not sure if I wanna try a game when it makes the host curse so much 😂
It does get VERY frustrating at times, and I do try to work on it, but then I forget...
Wow I dont know if there are NES version
Where I can download it. thanks
Go to Japan, Wizardry is alive and well.
its interesting that humans suck in wizardry. Since in d&d at the time, humans were OP lol
Not so much as "suck", but more along the lines of they're completely, absolutely average. They have the potential to be anything but they're not particularly good at anything. Elves on the other hand, have high IQ so they make good mages, and gnomes have high piety and make good clerics. Humans are just average.
@@IndieGamerRetro ah true true I see
