good times!
i still have (and recently reinstalled) my copy of wizardry gold, so revisiting this classic brings back tons of great memories.
interestingly enough there's a japanese playstation port from 1994 with redone english voiceovers (with japanese text except for some minor menu stuff), all new cg cutscenes and totally redone interior/exterior graphics along with slightly redrawn character art. the game moves a bit quicker, but is just as challenging from what i've played. i'm guessing the only reason it was never brought to the US, was it was a bit dated visually and sony wanted to show off the 3D capabilities of the playstation.
it's too bad, as there ended up being a load of wizardry games developed in japan, including remakes of the first five games (all with an english text option for the menus)...
