Do NOT buy Wizardry II if you do not already have Wizardry.  The nice
and considerate marketers/advertisers who make Wizardry readily available
for the eager consumer neglect to point out that you can NOT create new
characters in Wiz II!  Rather, you need to transfer your already existing
characters from Wiz I to Wiz II....  (In Wiz II, if you try to enter the
"Training" area, you are told that the Masters of Training are out on a
quest and are summarily referred to Wiz I....

A dirty trick, in my estimation....

(fortunately, I already had Wiz I, but imagine the surprise of those
who don't.....)
