[QUOTE="Tratyn Runewind, post: 300198, member: 685"] Hello! Gotta love it. :D Brings to mind my favorite Wizardry anecdote. My friend Walter and I are sneaking in a little forbidden gaming on the computer lab's Mac Pluses. He's playing Strategic Conquest, I'm playing Wizardry (I actually still have the Master Disk around somewhere). He being more experienced at the game than I, I ask him for advice as I run into a never-before-encountered monster on the lowest dungeon level. Me: "Hey Walter, do these Maelfics cast spells?" Walter: "I don't know, I always just MONTINO [silence] them anyway." Me: "Ah, why waste the spell. There's only one of them." (swings with melee weapons, mildly surprised as Maelfic survives) Computer: "The Maelfic casts TILTOWAIT for 99 damage. 5 party members [out of 6] were immolated." [last one is at 6 hp] Me: "AAAAAAAHHHH! Walter!" Walter (looking over): "Oops..." (chuckles, with evil grin) Bard's Tale, if I'm not mistaken, though I never got far enough into the game to be able to cast it myself. My friends were more into that one than I was. Here's some more old-school goodness for ya, though of newer vintage than those last two: "Juffo-Wup fills in my fibers and I grow turgid. Violent action ensues." Have fun with it! :) [/QUOTE]
