A legendary RPG classic of mind-blowing proportions.

Wizardry 6+7, a pack of two DOS-era RPG games with first-person perspective, grid-based movement, huge gameworlds, and way over 500 hours of hard-core gameplay in total, is available on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

Some say that a quill is more powerful than the sword. In most cases they can be proved wrong by a any hot-tempered, half-naked barbarian wielding a crude two-handed blade. In this case, however, we're talking about a quill that is the most powerful artifact in the whole universe. It's called The Cosmic Forge, for it has the ability to rewrite reality itself, making its wielder omnipotent. This is what's at stake, at this is what you'll be after. But as if laying your hands on this treasure wasn't difficult enough, there's an ominous force hiding in the shadows, trying to reach the goal before you do and turning the whole of the world against you. All this is but the main thread in the epic campaign bringing together fantasy and Sci-Fi in a world that could have only be spawned to existence in the early 1990s. Behold the first two games in the Dark Savant trilogy!

Wizardry 6+7 bundles together Wizardry 6: The Cosmic Forge and Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant to bring you over 500 hours of challenging gameplay that defined what we now call classic computer RPG. Once you create your party of brave adventurers, recruited among the most fantastic races and taking on some of the most awesome professions, prepare to spend a whole lot of time with them, as you'll be taking them from the first game in the trilogy up to the last one. This is a challenging game, the one the [url=http://www.rpgcodex.net" target="_blank]RPG codex[/url] might have warned you about, so prepare for something you have never experienced before--or, if you played it back in the day, to relive some of your best gaming memories. With tons of content and old-school goodness it's a piece of gaming history you just need to have in your collection.

Are you ready? If you think you can handle a game so huge, or you simply want to forget about the world for weeks, or even months, grab Wizardry 6+7 for only $5.99.

Oh, and by the way: Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant comes in two versions in this package: the original DOS release, and the revamped Windows Wizardry GOLD edition. The choice is yours!

DeadlyRamon: Wizardry Gold , a 1996 remake of Wizardry 7, had extensive speech and more colorful character portraits, things that were missing from the original game. Will GOG ever release that as well?
Check gamepage. It's there.

JMich: Or more specifically, users messing with the release threads, thus forcing the poor blues to try and contain it. Yes, funny occurence, but at least blame the ones who made the mess. That does include me as well.
Is that why this newspost is called "Wizardry 6,7 copy 3"? (look at the url)

Yes. It used to be _asdfg1 but it was renamed (again).
Thank you for answering my noob question about Wizardry Gold, fellas. I was so excited about today's GOG releases that I neglected to carefully check the games' release pages!
Good series, will pick this up later.
There is a GOG.

Haha, that was funny. I was just looking at this development on the sister thread.
I hope nobody will lose their jobs because of this. Shit happens, after all.
Bravo GOG. Bravo.

DCT: no it doesn't hurt since 6-8 are a separate story arc, which is for the best Wizardry 3 and 4 are pains to play. 4 is just sadistic and to this day the one of the most brutal rpgs ever made, 3 is a bitch for different reasons since you need to have either 2 separate parties, one good and one evil since good can only access the even number floors while evil can only access the odd, that or you need to do a alignment shift every floor..this is made even worse by the fact you can not create your own party, you have to import them from Wizardry 1 or 2. This also makes it extra annoying since if your party dies your boned and have to go back to 1 or 2 again.

Timelord1963: Thank you, that's very helpful! :) Wizardry 3 sounds a nightmare, though...
Wow DCT, for whatever strange reason I am so dying to play Wizardry 3 and 4 now. Hope GOG gets them.
these 2 games are the most story driven right? and considered the best of the series?
Wizardry 4 is the hardest cRPG ever made, by far. Probably followed by Pools of Darkness

it is, it is..granted you could try to circumvent that with a neutral party they can access any floor save for the final one which is inaccessible for them unless they have a good or evil party member in tow, so you could always go that route..

But as nightmarish as that one was it's still not as nightmarish as Wizardry 4 is, granted Wizardry 4 is nightmarish in the "wow, you have to be a massive sadist to play this"/this game will kick you in the balls till you cough them up and then push you to the ground and beat you senseless,spit on you, piss on you and then electroshock you awake to do it all again while making you beg for more for the next 40+ hours difficult unlike Wizardry 3 which was nightmarish in the whole "let's do this really stupid idea I have and restrict floors to set alignments" way.
Hope they bring Wizardry 1-5 soon.

Wizardry 1-3 were great classic RPG's with plenty of features you don't find in modern games anymore (enemies can drain your characters levels, when your character dies you have to send your party into the dungeon to recover the corpse, importing your full party into the next game) great times.

Wizardry 4 was different since it put you in the role of Werdna, main villain from Wizardry 1, and you set out on a quest for revenge. Fun thing about this is that you can actually have multiple endings depending on how you act as you can go the full evil route and take revenge for being imprisoned or you can actually attempt to redeem yourself. Many considered this one of the hardest RPG's ever made when it was released (many still do).

Wizardry 5 is another oddball, it takes after 1-3 but expands on character roles and the dungeons are not based on a 20X20 grid. However it is completely self contained and has nothing to do with any other story arc in the series.
