The Playback Machine: Part I
ZargonX | 2:39 PM on 03.09.2008 14 comments


In an effort to enrich the knowledge of others, as well as give myself an excuse to play more games, I've decided to embark on an adventure of playing through some of my favorite old games that I haven't played in a while, and of course sharing the whole experience with everyone else!



To start with, I've decided to go all-out and re-tackle Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant; a game I personally consider one of the best PC RPGs made. A lot of you may have never played this game, let alone even heard of it, and I'd like everyone to get a chance to see how great it was.

To help add a little interaction to this whole experience, I'm taking volunteers who'd like to see their namesake loaned to my party of adventurers. I, of course, will be leading, backed up my you intrepid volunteers. With the two volunteers I've already got, that leaves 3 slots on in our glorious party.

Slot 1: ZargonX
Slot 2: RHibiki
Slot 3: Hitogoroshi
Slot 4:
Slot 5:
Slot 6:

(And if more than 3 people volunteer, I'll do good ol random drawing to decide who gets in!)

So if you'd like to be a part of this grand adventure, just say so! You can also pick your racial preference from the wide variety available:

Humans (soft, squishy humans)
Hobbits (charming, weak hobbits)
Elves (snooty, magical elves)
Dwarves (hardy, slow dwarves)
Felpurr (Cat-people; fast and nimble)
Rawulf (Dog-people; pious and strong)
Gnomes (Smart and weak)
Lizardmen (Very strong, very tough, about as smart as toast)
Dracon (Tough and smart and breathe acid)
Faeries (Fast as all get out but weak as a kitten)
Mook (Big, hairy, alien psionic dudes. So, yeah.)

Let's get this adventure rolling!

I'll take what you may have in a Poop-smith class.

As Hito has pointed out, I did not post the class list. That is very true, and for a good reason. The way the character creation system works, you choose a race, and then are randomly assigned bonus points for your base attributes; if you get a high number of bonus points, you have more classes available. As such, it is impossible to say with any certainty that someone will get a specific class (except for the really basic ones like fighter/thief/mage). Just say if you want to be fighty, thiefy, or magic-y, and I'll figure it out from there.

I'll like to be added, as a Felpurr (yeah, whatever XD), my name would be Styos.

Oh, in that case, I'll be fighty I guess, or surprise me.

You got to have a Tragic Hero party member of course. I'd be a fighty elf who thinks hes better than everyone but learns that everyone should be equal.

If anything, this is just another attempt for Zargon to make some attempt to literarilly cause my demise. He's the best friend ever.

Seriously though, i'm thiefy. Since you're killing me, i feel i should at least be able to demand how i die.

I remember playing this game years ago. It didn't work very well on my computer, what with the good graphics and the garbly digitized voices coming through the PC speaker.

Did you start the game? How are you enjoying it? That was a Might & Magic / Wizardry style first person roleplaying game... turn based combat or semi real time? I can't remember. I just remember starting out outside of town, some sort of people riding on a landspeeder, getting lost, and dying. It made me remember why I like purchasing games instead of getting copies of them, as maps and manuals help to a huge degree.
