Noticed an annoying difference between Wiz 1-3 and Wiz 4. In 1-3 the text speed was just right, but in 4 the combat messages go by so fast that I can't read them. Decreasing CPU cycles does not work.
I'm using the Archives version. Any advice?
Fuhhhh...must resist for Grimoire...

Funny, how many cycles are you using? 500 are enough for me and I do not miss any message. Have you tried the T)ime command?
Man, you're hardcore! I for one decided to skip Wiz4 entirely.When I reload I use the map I've already made. In other CRPGs I would remap when reloading.
Is there any penalty for death? Or you just start from the bottom and all your levels remain?
Wiz 4 sure takes time when you map it all by hand. If I had used online maps maybe I've already finished by now (depending on just how brutal levels 7 to 1 are).

Now imagine if you were playing the original version and the ghost moved in real time.
When you save you quit the game, and when reloading the current level is reset
*Unless thieving monsters existed in earlier games like Oubliette or various Roguelikes I guess the thieves in Wiz 4 were the inspiration for this rage inducing littlenazibastard:
Man, that's hardcore. Do you like rip up your maps or something if you die?So my play style is different from other CRPGs. When I reload I use the map I've already made. In other CRPGs I would remap when reloading.
Probably too late to make a joke now that "Yes, it certainly is a very short experience from game start to a game over screen" since you're now playing Wiz 4.

And if you die in the game, do you die in real life?
The members of the Greyhawk Ghostbusters party in Wiz 4 are totally immune to Silence and Sleep spells. I can only assume the player who sent in the disk with that party hex edited the characters, because surely the Founding Fathers of CRPGs would not cheat?
But with the Black Box I can collect them right away, and by equipping the Black Box it's safe from thieves.

Good old games. Does the game format your hard drive on TPK ?
Also, it seems there's a capital punishment for credit card fraud...
But who the hell is Karl Maudlin? Is it a play on Karl Malden? Anyway I don't get the reference.
