Wizardry - Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
 |
 Description |
The first Wizardry game was one of the original CRPG dungeon crawlers, and stands along with Ultima and Might & Magic as one of the defining staples of the genre. You generate and control a party of up to six different adventurers and send them into a 3D vector dungeon to fight monsters and find treasure.The game takes place in the domain of Trebor, the titular Mad Overlord. Trebor was once only power-mad, but went off the deep end after he acquired a magical amulet of immense power only to have it stolen from him by his nemesis the evil archmage Werdna. Werdna, not quite sure how to use the amulet properly, accidentally causes an earthquake which creates a ten-level dungeon beneath Trebor's castle. To avoid looking silly, Werdna declares the dungeon to be the new lair for him and his monster hordes. Trebor, not to be outdone, declares the labyrinth is in fact his new Proving Grounds where adventurers must prove themselves for membership in his elite honor guard (and incidentally retrieve his amulet in the process). Thus your goal in the game is to descend to the tenth floor of the labyrinth, defeat Werdna, and retrieve the fabled amulet. |

Secrets

Free Money A good, but tedious way to gain some money. If you've ever played this game, you should have noticed that when you create a character, they come with their own little ammount of money. Since you can pool money to a single character and delete character, you can create create and create character, pool all their money to a single character and delete them and restart. It's a long and tedious process, but it can get you some money for those expinsive weapons. |

Identify 9 When you are equipping your character, repeatedly pressing (I)dentify, followed by the number 9 will eventually grant your character 1,000,000 experience points. This works in the Apple II version for sure, not so sure about the NES version. |
