''Wizardry'' is a series of role-playing video games, developed by Sir-Tech, which were highly influential in the evolution of modern console and computer role-playing games. The original ''Wizardry'' was a significant influence on early console RPGs such as ''Dragon Warrior'' and ''Final Fantasy''. Originally made for the Apple II, the games were later ported to other platforms. The last official game in the series by Sir-Tech, ''Wizardry 8'', was originally released for Microsoft Windows and is currently available for play on Mac and Linux via bundled emulation. There have since been various spin-off titles released only in Japan. ==Development== ''Wizardry'' began as a simple dungeon crawl by Andrew C. Greenberg and Robert Woodhead. It was written when they were students at Cornell University and then published by Sir-Tech. The game was influenced by earlier games from the PLATO system, most notably ''Oubliette''. The earliest installments of ''Wizardry'' were very successful, as they were the first graphically-rich incarnations of ''Dungeons & Dragons''-type gameplay for home computers. The release of the first version coincided with the height of D&D's popularity in North America. The first five games in the series were written in Apple Pascal, an implementation of UCSD Pascal. They were ported to many different platforms by writing UCSD Pascal implementations for the target machines (Mac II cross-development). David W. Bradley took over the series after the fourth installment, adding a new level of plot and complexity. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wizardry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
