Wizardry 1: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord
Online version of Wizardry 1: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord for NES. 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 six, and the first of its kind to offer colour graphics. Characters are rolled from five races and four basic classes, equipped in the town below the castle of the mad overlord Trebor, and sent down into a ten level maze after the archmage Werdna, who stole the castle amulet. The maze is drawn in first person with wireframe lines and the game offers no automap at all. It sold well over 500 000 copies by the end of the 1980s, and conversions were still appearing in 1993.

Online emulated version of Wizardry 1: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord was originally developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), an 8-bit third-generation home video game cartridge-based console produced by Nintendo, first released in Japan as the Family Computer (commonly known as the Famicom) in 1983. The NES, a face-lifted version, was released internationally in the following years. The NES featured a number of groundbreaking games, such as the platform game Super Mario Bros, the action-adventure game The Legend of Zelda and the action game Metroid. As one of the best-selling gaming consoles of its time, the NES helped revitalize the US video game industry following the video game crash of 1983.
The game controller used for both the NES and the Famicom features an oblong brick-like design with a simple four button layout: two round buttons labeled `A` and `B`, a `START` button, and a `SELECT` button. Additionally, the controllers utilize the cross-shaped joypad, designed by Nintendo employee Gunpei Yokoi, for Nintendo Game & Watch systems, to replace the bulkier joysticks on earlier gaming consoles' controllers.
