I review Wizardry 5 here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-EGkF6Moz0

the game maybe 'graphically challenged' by today's standards but that is like saying an old man is weak, no, he is an old man, he was probably stronger than you in his youth and is stronger than you will be as an old man, now for the game subject. The time of the game's release it was given a very positive review and the graphics at the time(1988) were pretty good(though Dungeon Master already had close to VGA style graphics) the puzzles and introduction to colorized monsters were more than welcome for 1988. I remember wanting to get this game when I read about it in Questbusters magazin(Shay Addams) it appears old, but it does have an element of challenge. you need an imagination to like it. it begins in a pub(like classic fantasy always did in those days) you must choose your compainions to venture into a dungeon and rid it of evil. the attributes are much as Bane and Savant, and deciding your class, choice of weapons/armor is paramont, as is your race and skill. once you understand the nature of this, it is quite fun. no need for graphics, it is about character dev more than what story there is(though here in HotM it is a good one, better than just the usual solve DM riddle routine in the first 3) referenced under appendix 'PC-88' meaning PC 1980's this is a MS-DOS only game, use Dos box!

Love/Hate this game. Great story, minimalist graphics, but a challenging difficulty required a slow pace at times and inventory space quickly becomes a premium. (O for the swag bag from Wiz 6!). One of my all-time favorites.

I remember playing Wizard V: Heart of the Maelstrom on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System when I was a young pup. I was new to RPGs, at the time, easily being enrage by the multiple deaths and character RE-creating when I was playing it. Ahh, those were the days...

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the first game in the Wizardry series of computer RPGs. It was developed by Andrew Greenberg and Robert Woodhead, and launched at a Boston computer convention in 1980. In 1979, Robert Sirotek and Fred Norman created Sir-tech Software, Inc. to distribute the game, and it was released in 1981. The game was one of the first Dungeons & Dragons-style role-playing games to be written for computer play, and the first such game to offer color graphics. It was also the first true party-based role-playing computer game.
Starting in the town, the player creates a party of up to six characters from an assortment of races, alignments, and basic classes. There are also four elite classes. Characters can be changed to an elite class after meeting the stat requirements. After equipping the characters with basic armor and weaponry, the party then descends into the dungeon below Trebor's castle. This consists of a maze of ten levels, each progressively more challenging than the last.
The style of play employed in this game has come to be termed a dungeon crawl. The goal, as in most subsequent computer role-playing games, is to find treasure including ever more potent items, gain levels of experience by killing monsters, then face the evil arch-wizard Werdna on the bottom level and retrieve a powerful amulet. The goal of most levels is to find the elevator or stairs going down to the next level (without being killed in the process).
The game eventually ended up as the first of a trilogy that also included Wizardry II: The Knight of Diamonds and Wizardry III: Legacy of Llylgamyn. Proving Grounds needs to be completed in order to create a party that could play in the remainder of the trilogy.

Story[edit]
One Morning, Trebor, the Mad Overlord, noticed that the fabled amulet, which he constantly held in his possession, had disappeared. Realizing his ultimate fear come true, he uttered, 'It must have been stolen while I slept.' Looking around the room hoping to find the amulet, he instead saw a note sitting on the table. 'Foolish Trebor, I did not think I could take the amulet this easily. How senile you have become! Do not attempt to retrieve the amulet, Trebor. For your best efforts will surely fail. The Great Wizard Werdna.'
When Trebor finished reading the letter, it burst into flames and burned to ashes. The angered Trebor sent notices throughout the countryside and gathered soldiers to recover the amulet. 'Those who are able to recover the amulet will be rewarded with great riches and much distinction,' he announced to the soldiers.
Thus, adventurers from throughout the country who were confident of their skills gathered under Trebor and entered the dungeon deep below the castle in hopes of conquering Werdna.
