God yeah, that and it's painful to me how many of the sirtech wizardry games STILL aren't legally available anywhere due to licensing hell (tho the recent version of 1 is damn nice)

OK, I wasn't expecting that at all. Sirtech finally sold off its rights to the OG Wizardry games (I to V), while Drecom still owns 6 to 8 (& I imagine the infinite litany of Japan-developed spin-offs, too).
Also, a wild Robert Woodhead appears!

実況動画とか見てて地味にこれ凄い事じゃないのって思ったこと
・Wizardry外伝(Ascii製Wiz)にSirtechのクレジットが入ってる事
Wizardryの名称など諸々の使用でSirTechのクレジットが入るのは当然ではあるんだけど逆に考えると和製WizであってもSirTechのクレジットが入ると不思議な付加価値を感じてしまう

A 1994 ad for The Elder Scrolls: Arena, an action RPG by Bethesda Softworks for PCs
A vast continent became a procedurally generated playground in this incredibly ambitious RPG. Designer, Ted Peterson, recalled in a 2001 interview Wizardry's SirTech "laughing at us for thinking we could do it."

On this date, thirty years ago, The Elder Scrolls: Arena was released on MS-DOS PCs kicking off Bethesda Softworks' epic series!
Amidst highs and lows, the series' massive worlds drew in generations of adventurers to see just where the next quest would take them.
Happy 30th, Elder Scrolls!

nvm i think i'm cooking, actively trying to come up with fresh settings/ideas is cool even if it adds to the pile of projects i might never finish
thinkin something for a game along the lines of late sirtech-era wizardry because it's been a recurring thought while working on other projects
