Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the first Wizardry scenario and is designed to introduce you to Wizardry, give you practice playing, and allow you to 'build' characters up to 7th level or so.The evil wizard Werdna has stolen a valuable item from the treasure rooms of the mad overlord Trebor. He has placed it somewhere deep in the dungeons of Trebor's castle, and left fearsome monsters there to guard it. Your mission isto develop characters powerful enough to explore the deeper levels of the dungeon and recover the item.It is rumored that a 'control center' exists somewhere in the dungeon, and that this control center allows explorers easy access to the deeper levels of the dungeon where the item may be found. Thus a logical first step would be to find this facility.Useful fan site with additional extras: (thanks James).Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord has an addon available:, don't miss it!

Wizardry Online is a free to play hardcore dark fantasy MMORPG from Sony, featuring permanent death for characters using the ‘soul system’, whereby players can level not only their character, but their soul, too. Cake mania back to the bakery. When characters die, they stay dead, but their soul and it’s level live on, allowing you to create a new character but continue to maintain a sense of overall progression.

It used 5-1/4 floppies. The main disc (loader) had a thing called BOOTSTRAP that prevented making copies. You started the PC with the loader disc, then inserted a blank (play disc) to load the maps and characters. The cheat on this game was you made multiple play discs and transferred characters to 'trade' to the other disc (called storage) and you can duplicate the elite armor to all your main disc warriors. AND agreed, drawing the MAP on graph paper was fun. I did hate lever 8 when you had those spin traps. CP 2017-03-01 0 point Mac versionCerry, Ditto!

Probably played around the same time you did. Sophomore year in college I believe. Don't know what I payed for it. In the early Apple days we pirated almost everything, but I do recall actually buying this game and paying real money. Not even sure how I learned about it.I just started again playing the Mac version I bought in the early '93. It's so much nicer to play than the old Apple (or DOS) version. Very nice interface for the time.

Separate window for each character. Easy mouse clicks to make things happens. Reasonable keyboard shortcuts.I never did play any of the other Wizardry scenarios. If they were available on the Mac I might give them a try. I just took a stab at DOSBox for Wizardry I. God no, I can't be tortured with that kind of interface again.

I can't see playing any of the other Wizardry scenarios in that environment.

It's free and you can google how to set it up, it takes a little tinkering but once up and running your PC will now have access to a million games from the olden days when cars ran on steam and games ran on large disks that took 4 men to carry. P Smith 2014-06-07 0 point DOS versionThe Wizardry and Ultima series arrived around Dungeons and Dragons' height of popularity. It may have capitalized on it, but it didn't hurt D&D, it enhanced it. It offered another way for players to experience adventure, and it brought computer gamers to D&D. I spent countless hours playing this game, the only regret being that cheat codes didn't exist at the time.

You had to work for everything.For those who don't know, 'Trebor' is Robert Woodhead, one of the two designers of Wizardry. He was later the founder of AnimEigo, one of the largest distributors of subtitled and dubbed anime.
