Agreed! I've also found it hard to find a good let's play of this game. Especially now with the modern remake just launching. I find it's important to remember where it all started. I've so many memories of playing this back in the day, and I will say the remake is brilliant! They've captured EVERYTHING that is here, but with modern graphics.

While you cannot create a Ninja that isn't evil, there *is* a way to obtain one that can run with a Good party. In the deepest bowels of the labyrinth, there exists a dagger that, when equipped by a rogue, will transform him into a Ninja. Thus if you have a Neutral Thief, he becomes a Neutral Ninja. Ninjas can equip nearly any weapon in the game, and have a pretty low AC even without equipping any armor. I typically run with two Fighters (or a Fighter and Samurai, if you use an Elf you can make a Samurai during character creation if you have 15 or more bonus points), a Thief, a Cleric, and two Mages. I also typically make a Wizard (an Elf can pretty trivially become a Wizard, or Bishop in the original Mac/PC game) for identification purposes but don't take them with me. They do learn both realms of magic, but slower than either a Cleric or a Mage. I generally find higher level spells to be more useful, at least until you learn all 7th level spells. You get your spell slots back resting in the inn. You have a healing spell on your cleric. So the only peole who *needs* to rest in the inn are the casters, barring level-ups.

A Grid Cartographer tutorial on how to set this up would be great. I bought it on sale and fumbled around with it in frustration, then ended up refunding it. I'm assuming you need to select an emulator on their site, load up a ROM and create windows for everything you want, but it's daunting with no instructions given.
@NickBurnham15 ай бұрын
I appreciate that feedback and can def see how it would be frustrating to set up at first as it does take a little fiddling. Yeah you do need an NES emulator and the Wizardry 1 ROM, and I unfortunately can't tell you how to find ROMs. But Grid Cartographer does have instructions on how to play the game inside the app using the FCEUmm emulator here: docs.gridcartographer.com/gamelink/emu/fceumm. That should be enough to get you started, I hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

@@NickBurnham1 Hey, thanks for the tips and the link. Maybe I'll try again when it goes on sale again. I actually had all the Wizardry games on NES and SNES, and even beat Knight of Diamonds which was quite an accomplishment. I sold the NES, SNES, Sega Genesis and about 50 games in mint condition with boxes and manuals for $200 at a garage sale. I later learned that just one game alone was an original with a bug that was redistributed and was worth many hundreds of dollars. Big regrets!
