Hello, world! Does anyone know about the newer Sir-Tech games? I solved the first three Wizardry adventures on my old Apple //e - Wizardry, KOD, and Legacy of Llylgamyn (or something like that), but what are the newer games like? I've heard that they have a couple new adventures. How well do they use the Mac's capabilities. I mean, the first three for the Apple // were written in Apple Pascal and were pretty primative. Are the new ones for the Mac in color? Are they more advanced than the simple line drawings I remember? I really did enjoy the old games (Hell, they were some of the first com- puter games I purchased way back in the early, early eighties) and would like any information regarding the new ones. Thanks in advance, - Tony Ard (aard@sdcc13.ucsd.edu)

The graphics in the new version let you see rock-like walls but otherwise it's the same. The game play is much better than before - you don't have to camp all the time. You can also use keys for a lot of things. The only ones released for the Mac are Wizardry I & II (Proving Grounds and KOD). There are five total - more if you count the new "Wizardry" games like Bane of the Cosmic Forge. +++ Lloyd Lim Internet: lim@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu America Online: LimUnltd Compuserve: 72647,660 US Mail: 215 Lysle Leach Hall, U.C.
