The Super Famicom ports of the first three Wizardry titles have fan translations available on turnip trucks out there on the interwebs. Honestly great games that completely hold up if you’re willing to forgive their willingness to murder your parties. The remake of Wizardry 1 is fantastic but it’s very faithful in a warts & all sort of way to the Apple II version, as a matter of fact it’s running the Apple II version under the hood in a similar way to that Oblivion Remaster from earlier this year. I don’t know if this is still the case but when I played during early access you couldn’t strip equipment from dead characters before the temple failed to raise them and they got dusted, which made losing geared characters that much more painful. Can’t stress enough, a fantastic dungeon crawler though, if you like Darkest Dungeon or similar ‘march these folks to their death’ gameplay loops you’ll feel right at home
