Since we're talking old PC games:

I've even snagged a few games off there even though I have the physical copy still. Some of those games are kind of hard to install these days.
I only played Wizardry Gold [Windows 95 version of Wizardry 7], of the old Wiz games, but it was a really awesome game back then. I haven't yet gotten it to work, so I can't give an update on what I think of it today, but I think it probably holds up okay. Wizardry 8, the last game in the series, is pretty good too, but REALLY hard. It's the kind of game that doesn't hold your hand at all and expects you to play smart on your own.

Quote: I do have Wizardry VI and VII, and tried to play those several years back. I eventually stopped because of the manual mapping, very high difficulty level, numerous frustrating design decisions, etc. Wiz VI was worth playing some of, to see what it's like, but those games are so hard to play from a modern perspective...
