For 1-5 see .Īs far as I can tell, has all, or at least most, of the Wizardry games up to 8. It may seem annoying to re-buy games but I think it's worth the small price for them to handle the configuration for you. Their dos games are already set up and are usually reasonably priced (if not then wait for one of the major sales).

If you haven't already it might be worth looking into GOG.com to see if they sell them. I have some not-so-fond memories of trying to get Dosbox working to run some of my old games I still have on CD. The day they make that impossible for me, is the day they force me to become a pirate. I refuse to rent software/music/movies forever. I still buy blu-rays, I don't subscribe to Netflix.Īnd I buy games in physical media only, but only if the reviews show that the game is complete and playable without a day-1 patch (Switch games are really good about that).
#WIZARDRY MINI VMAC INSTALL#
No source code? No install disk? No way to play offline? Then you don't own it, and it can be taken away from you in seconds. I agree, and it really bothers me that more people don't seem to understand this. We're just going to lose most of these games. Most games aren't worth b) though, and c) is very rare. The only way you'll ever see it again is a) some heroic pirates break the DRM and make local copies, b) the company accidentally finds the game 20 years later and does a re-release or a bundle with their other old games, c) a dev releases it 20 years later because s/he figures the game is 'lost'. Online only and streaming games are going to be lost, all you'll have left are the twitch and youtube videos.Īs for games that never get a physical release, well the industry is always catastrophically shortsighted and sees that as a positive.
