Sir-tech Canada Releases Wizardry 8

NichG writes "Sir-tech Canada has finally released Wizardry 8. This has been long awaited by fans of Wizardry 7 (1992) and the series of games which precluded it. It should be available at Electronic Boutique. For those not familiar with the Wizardry series, they are first person, turn-based (more precisely, phased) RPGs, which grew from pure dungeon crawl to RPGs with plot and characters with whom to interact." This, the Bard's Tale series, and the first four Ultimas together were where most of the late 1980s went for me.

Please yatest5, watch your grammar!!

Best thing I ever did was at my Amiga game piracy club - there was a fervour waiting for Speedball 2 to come out. We modified a floppy disk with a melted chocolate mouse under the disk cover and scribbled 'speedball 2' on the front. Much amusement when some poor bastard put it into his computer. Even better, you should have seen the excitement on the poor bastard's face when he 'found' a copy of Speedball 2 on the floor. Swwweeeet. Jesus, children are evil!!

Perhaps, you meant

Incidentally, was 'chocolate mousse' a joke? I really meant 'chocolate mouse', a popular sweet where I come from, and ideal for filling disk cavities and causing teeth ones...

who cares

[Anonymous Coward]

what an irrelevant site this has become. There's entirely too much attention given to trinkets, games and the fetishizing of silly commodities with blinky lights.

Are all geeks this boring? No wonder you toads never get fucked.
