Definitely a piece of RPG gaming history, started in the college dorm room of Andrew Greenberg. While not the first D & D-inspired computer game, Wizardry was by far the most popular and widely known in the early 80's. Though it had simple graphics and even simpler sound, the game had a certain charm to it. The game and combat system were sufficiently complex to make the game challenging and enjoying, with just the right balance. Some people got very attached to their characters, as many invested hours and hours building them up, and losing them was like losing a good friend. Perhaps this is what helped make this such a popular series. That, and the box was really, really cool.

Also shown below is an extremely rare 'hint book' for the early Wizardry games. Unofficial, these were all handmade by a Wizardry fan and published under the name Wizisystem. The maps are thorough but the monster and items lists leave something to be desired. The Map Set is a separate publication by a different person, containing ONLY unannotated maps for the first three scenarios.
