Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

Online version of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord for Game Boy Color. Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is a fantasy RPG written by Andrew Greenberg and Robert Woodhead and published for the Apple II by Sir-tech Software in September 1981. It is the first computer game in which the player runs a full party of 6, and the first of its kind to offer colour graphics. Characters are rolled from 5 races and 4 basic classes, equipped at the castle of the mad overlord Trebor, and sent down into the 10 level maze beneath it after the evil wizard Werdna, who stole Trebor's amulet. The maze is drawn in first person with wireframe lines and the game offers no automap at all.

Nintendo Game Boy Color Console

Online emulated version of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord was originally developed for Game Boy Color (GBC), an 8-bit handheld game console, manufactured by Nintendo, which was released in Japan on October 21, 1998 and to international markets that November. It is the successor to the original Game Boy and is part of the Game Boy family.
The GBC features a color screen (160x144 px) rather than monochrome, but it is not backlit. It is slightly thicker and taller and features a slightly smaller screen than the Game Boy Pocket, its immediate predecessor in the Game Boy line. As with the original Game Boy, it has a custom 8-bit processor made by Sharp that is considered a hybrid between the Intel 8080 and the Zilog Z80.

Due to its backward compatibility with Game Boy games, the Game Boy Color's launch period had a large playable library. Tetris for the original Game Boy is the best-selling game compatible with Game Boy Color, and Pokémon Gold and Silver are the best-selling games developed primarily for it. The best-selling Game Boy Color exclusive game is Pokémon Crystal.
