I've personally never played any of the Wizardry games, but there's no arguing that Wizardry and Ultima were the stepping stones of RPGs. I'll definitely have to try playing them at some point.

i overplayed the sequel "knight of diamonds" and was lost in the deepest dungeon areas doing circles and using the teleport spell with a map and a throw away wizard that i would level up just for that purpose. my real party (which had two open spaces for more disposable members) consisted of 2 paladins a wizard and a thief. the thief leveled up fast compared to everyone else, and was the most necessary character cuz of chests and loot man, you gotta have someone who can pick locks. well i got him up to lev106 over time and i found this coin that changed character classes. i had a new thief leveled and was willing to take the risk on the thief and it turned him into a ninja.

with nothing equipped he had a -27 AC, he attacked 10 times with each hit having a chance of inflicting instant death, which was overkill for most things anyway. generally when he attacked a group of enemies, they died. i ended up kicking out a fighter that was catching up to the paladins, but that ninja was insane, 1111hp he had to be in the first 3 though to attack without ranged weapon.

Wow I had no idea all that was behind this game, I. Didn't even know it was available for other consoles. What I remember is that it was really hard and yes, the map had to be drawn by hand
