Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls/Trivia

In a more meta example, the game itself has an interesting history -- Sir-Tech, the company that created Wizardry in the early 80s, was wiped out by the direct intervention of Electronic Arts -- they pulled in favors to prevent Sir-Tech from being able to publish Wizardry 8 (due to EA wanting to purchase Sir-Tech and the Wizardry IP). However, before their death they had given a carte blanche licence to a Japanese firm to make new Wizardry games.

These Wizardry games are much closer to the old school Wizardry games -- Wizardry 1-5. They have limited classes and races, especially when compared to 6-8, no sci-fi elements, and very few scripted events in the dungeon. The dungeons are 20x20 square maps (although not every square is filled in), and rely on fairly simple tricks to encourage map making.
