Apart from Richard Garriot's original "Ultima", no RPG game in history is more important or influential than Andrew C. Greenberg and Robert Woodhead's "Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord" from 1981. In this LP I play the excellent Japanese SNES remake from 1992 with the English fan translation patch by Aeon Genesis.

(In case you're wondering about the naming of the characters, please keep in mind that the party members are all of Evil alignment...;)
