Produced by Digital Eclipse, a developer that resurrects classic games of yore, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is a full-fledged remake of one of the most iconic RPGs in the industry, whose influences can still be felt in modern games.
Back in 1981, on the Apple II, SirTech released the world's first party-based dungeon crawler game, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord.
