WTB: Wizardry Games

[Senshi]

I'd like to buy the PCE wizardry games if anyone has any of them and would like to part with them.  Thanks.

These are excellent games to have.  I am looking to get the first two sets, Wizardry I,II and Wizardry III,IV.  I already have the fifth one.  Wish ya luck.  I know for a fact that game of japan has them.  His prices are normally reasonable as well.

just a heads up - Wizardry I & II uses up an entire file cabinet for saving, and you cannot even start the game unless you clear out your memory for the game to create its own save file.

III and IV most likely do as well, since V requires it too.

I've noticed that with a couple other games as well such as Monster Maker I believe? Thanks for letting me know.

Is there any way to utilize the Tannoke Bank (sp) cards to get around this sort of thing?

Nope, besides backing up your current saves, playing *insert name of memory hog here*, and swapping your saves back when done.

*edit*  Here's a incomplete list of games that backup memory and the file sizes they create: clicky.

I would think you could transfer the save data to the bank, then be able to use your Duo to play the Wizardry games.  I have never actually done it tho.  But, hey, I would think thats the reason this thing was made, to make more room for other save data, without losing what already exists.

you could dedicate 1 bank on the tennokoe for each wizardry game and just swap out the save bank with your internal memory (regular game saves) each time.

hmmm...these have been $5-10 games for years; today I'm seeing them on ebay for $39.

All of them.  Its really a mixed bag.  Most of the menu and command menu are in English tho.

I can confirm all of them are 90% in English hence the reason why I talk mad smack to fan translation groups on why they haven't bothered to translate the rest of the text. On the subject of Wizardry games, the 4th one has never been remade (as far as I know) except on the pc engine so if you want to give that one a whirl I highly recommend it.

[Senshi]

Well if anyone has the 3/4 or the 5th in minty condition I'd still buy them off you.

Hit Japan has the 5th one for 12 dollars, you can probably get him to sell it to you for cheap too.
