I started playing Wizardry 8 and have added a page for this game. It's been quite a while since I added a page for an RPG, I haven't been playing them as much lately as I used to.
I don't know how long I will be playing Wizardry 8 either. Considering that the game is from 2001, it feels somewhat awkward, as if it were a lot older. It does not even have mouselook, something Daggerfall had five years earlier, and Daggerfall was a bit old-fashioned when it was released.
Originally, I had wanted to try out Ultima IX: Ascension, but I could not get it to work, I don't know why yet. I added the paragraph about 3D hardware compatibility from the readme, with some thoughts about the state of 3D gaming in 1999.
Then there's an update for Mankala: Elizabeth Chase MacRae wrote me that she developed it for the TI99 too. It was accepted by TI just one week before TI discontinued its home computer business, and so, unfortunately, never released.
