Davis - Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Lines: 48 It's been a long time since I played Wizardry on the Mac so I dug out my notes and looked at the items I thought were interesting.

This one also increments your hit points. I seem to remember being able to invoke the power and increment attributes more than once but I might have been duplicating items or playing some other trick. Back when the game came out, there wasn't a WizEdit (or whatever it's called) so I used FEdit to look through the Scenario file. The hex seemed to indicate that the following items had some sort of special property: Ring of Movement, Ring of Dispelling, Dagger of Thievery, Armor of Lords, Werdna's Amulet, Murasama Blade, Shuriken, Mace of Snakes, Wand of Conflagration, Armor of Freon, Rod of Silence, Slayre of Dragons, Slayer of Weres, and Masher of Mages. Some of these are easy to figure out (they invoke powers, cast spells, or work good against certain monsters) but I never figured out what some of these did. Besides these items, there's a whole bunch of other normal items that are great (e.g. - Silver Gloves, Shield of Defense, Ring of Healing, ...) and some items that can only be used by evil characters. (I never got around to taking an evil party down so I don't know what these do.) A lot of these items are very rare so I was glad that you could duplicate stuff. I'll have to get a copy of this WizEdit thing and see if I missed anything before going on to Wizardry II. BTW, is there a version of Wizardry I that works on all Macs? +++ Lloyd Lim Internet: lim@iris.eecs.ucdavis.edu Compuserve: 72647,660 US Mail: 215 Lysle Leach Hall, U.C. Davis, Davis, CA 95616
