Wizardry co-creator Robert Woodhead and Digital Eclipse’s Justin Bailey join the pod to talk about Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, the new remaster of the iconic 1981 dungeon crawler. We explore that game’s incredible legacy, how Digital Eclipse is bringing it to modern audiences, and it’s important impact on the Japanese gaming scene. I also take a look at the Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door remake on Switch! Plus, I take you to the real life Pallet Town right here in Tokyo!
