Wizardry Proving Grounds v3.0, 03 August 2023 Released!

Hello everyone!

Wizardry Proving Grounds v3.0, 03 August 2023 is released!

Playing or replaying the original has never been better.

Here are a few of the game play enhancements since the last release above:

- Party members can now Pool or Divide Gold amongst themselves! This is super smooth and makes the game more enjoyable.

- Updated the code to allow characters to be transferred between scenario disks even if they are carrying quest items.

- The Evil Shield +3 armor class has been improved from 5 to 6 to be consistent with the armor protection of all the other shields.

You can play using an Apple II emulator or a real Apple II computer.

All that you need to know to start playing is in the Wizardry Proving Grounds v3.0 Additional Players Guide included on the web page. Also includes the original Apple II DOS 3.3 and ProDOS disk images as well as all the details of the fixes and enhancements.

Web site and download: https://www.zimlab.com/wizardry/proving-grounds-v3

Enjoy!
