No. Well, 6 through 8 are pretty good, but the Might and Magic series has aged far better, so you should play those instead.

Wizardry 4. Trust me bro. You'll have a great time.

Lolno. The original rendered sprite titles (M&M 6, 7, 8) are ugly as fuck and run like shit. You need either the individual 3rd party patches, or that fan project/mod to make them work properly (and use actual mouselook). M&M 3-5 are okay, if a little dated, but you have to fiddle with pirated Roland libraries to get decent music (once again, fuck Roland Corp. for refusing to release their legacy libraries). And the less said about M&M 9, the better.

Nah the two dungeons in it are baby tier designs that would be labeled as shit even by Wiz1 standards.

Katsuya Terada did the art for Busin Wizardry Alternative series. We in the West only got the first one, localized as Tale of the Forsaken Land.

It's more linear than most Wizardry games, even Japanese ones, but still pretty good.

Truer to the original than David Bradley's games.

>> No.8323568

>>8323482
That's not correct. Bradley made Wizardry 5 and it's the basis for all the Japanese games.
Only 6 and 7 are Wizardry in name only.

Not enough furries, bare tits and never-ending text dumps to be considered a true Bradley game, as far as I'm concerned.

>5 is the basis for all the Japanese games
like, even the Famicom and Japanese PC ports of Proving Grounds? Saying that the subsequent Japanese-developed games are based on wiz5 just because they let the thief use the "hide" command in battle is a bit much, don't you think?

>> No.8323745

>>8323683
It's not just the hide command, it's the revamped spell list, weapon ranges, the way secret doors work and so on.

They reduce dungeon levels from 20x20 to 16x16 and use a modified stat system.
As ports they are pretty different from the original games.
