adventurers has heeded this call.
_Wizardry Gaiden_ is a side story Wizardry game for Gameboy. It is an
original, Japanese-only title, and is not a port of any computer versions. Its
developer, ASCII, was also the developer that created the Wizardry 1 through 6
remakes for Famicom and Super Famicom, and as such _Wizardry Gaiden_ retains
much of the same look and feel of other console titles in the series. The
gameplay system most closely resembles _Wizardry V_ (released the following
year for Super Famicom), with the addition of long-range weapons, enhanced
spells, and auto-mapping.
The player creates characters from the stock Wizardry classes and races seen
in other games in the series, such as fighters and wizards, and then forms a
party of up to 6 to explore the solitary dungeon. The player transverses the
six floor dungeon in 1st person, fighting random encounters and gaining
experience to level up. Thanks to the introduction of auto-mapping, it is
possible to complete _Wizardry Gaiden_ without the use of graph paper, unlike
other early entries in the Wizardry series.
