What about the SNES version vs the PSX one ?
will probably get back to it once I'm done with New Vegas
My second instance of the sin of thread necromancy, but has anyone had any luck running New Age working on Win 7. I even tried it in the XP Virtual Machine in Win7Pro, and it wasn't even close. Going into the maze, everything is pitch black except for what look like glowing, flickering orange arches. This is true in Win7/XPBox, but in the XPBox the text all looks like little squares, presumably due to a lack of support for Japanese characters. In base Win7, it's mostly in English but the font spacing is messed up and the graphical issues above remain. Any ideas?

New Age of Llygamyn Wizardry V (PSX) is my favourite Wizardry game, and one of the best rpgs I've played after finishing it a few years back. Having put considerable time into the SNES version as well, there are big differences excluding aesthetics: you have access to an automap, and the menu UI is significantly easier to use.
Yes, there is a button mapped to open the automap. You can see the automap at 14:39 in this video: https://youtu.be/OZaQuD0hUPc?t=872
did you guys finish new vegaswill probably get back to it once I'm done with New Vegas
I hope you finish new Vegas before I do.
Which version of Wiz 4 do you consider better. Classic or arranged? I have seen that arranged has party size of 6, and that you have more control over your monsters.
just play the PSX or the SNES versions, they should be easy enough to find
PC version has a terrible interface (my preference is always for fixed GUIs over moveable windows) and lots of bugs
That said, you can easily play the original PC release in CGA, but even then you have the strange exp bug for W1-3
