One of the toughest games on the PC and in the history of RPGs, Wizardry VII: Crusaders of the Dark Savant was a challenge I was never able to overcome. And yet somehow, I’ve come back to it over and over throughout the years, driven by some masochistic need to be punished in a way only video games can pull off.
Wizardry was huge in the 1980s, and helped define both Western and Japanese RPGs as we know them.
When I was young, I never understood why it seemed that all the old folks were miserable and/or bitter all the time. Now at 50, I get it. From about 45 on it seems, you watch person after person that meant something to you die. Family, friends, musicians, actors, artists, and yes, game creators.
RIP Andy.
