   Ah.  I picked that up a while back, but haven't yet started it   
   (somewhat backlogged on RPGs (books, games in general) at the moment).

   I looked up the series on Wikipedia after my previous post, and   
   was surprised at the number of console versions.  I knew about   
   some of the ports, but I had no idea that there were so many   
   console-specific Wizardry games.

   Heh.  I still have somewhere the maps I drew for the NES Wizardry ports.   
   This is definitely not the most popular of genres these days, but it's   
   nice to know that there's still enough of a market to be worth producing   
   new games for.
