I tried everything I could think of to get W&W running on my system about a year or so ago. Spent almost an entire day trying to get it to run on WinXP with no luck.

After som work I ran it just fine few years back on a winxp. Was the problem somhow related to graphics driver? I had 8800GTS back then. Not sure if it would work with my current 580 though.
Not sure what the root of the problem was. I remember finally getting it to run without crashes, but something was very wrong with the mouse. I couldn't interact with items or characters.
What uberhorse? The horse you rode around on? I liked it. Made getting around quicker especially in those large areas.
If I had to complain about W&W it would be those killer plants from hell. They were too powerful for characters just entering that forest area. Made becoming a ninja or samurai very difficult.
I never had problems with that ring. The patch fixed it.
Other than that and a few others minor complaints I really like that game. I like it so much that I will spend half an hour or so fiddling around with it to get it to run on my latest rig.
Dungeon Lords is meh. It's fun for some mindless action and the muti-player was great to play with people back home. Although too many problems with it.
I just wish he had actually finished that game and hadn't forced everyone to buy the collectors edition if they wanted the latest patch. Oh well, at least W&W is fun.
I guess the game was too hard-coded because somthing like that sounds like an easy fix. Somone should push them to release the sourcecode for the game. Threaten them with the salads or somthing.So that whole little maze area is sort of like pac man you just run away. You dont fight them you actually take a whole bunch of potions just to survive their range attacks.
Activision didnt support the gameI guess the game was too hard-coded because somthing like that sounds like an easy fix. Somone should push them to release the sourcecode for the game. Threaten them with the salads or somthing.

Im getting some more memories of dungeon lords now.
A highlight I would say is humorous goblin villages.
There is SO much more interaction with npcs in wizards and warriors than in dungeon lords.
in dungeon lords npcs dont even move they just stand there, you dont talk to them much you just buy things and get clues.
Wizards and warriors is a much more complete game
oh ya thats the bugDo you have a Nvidia card (8+ series) ? If so, only way to run W&W is to set the game to software mode, I'm afraid. And do no forget to set the compatibility mode to Windows 98. Also install unofficial patch (1b) and try to find a nocd crack (I can provide you if you want) to avoid any cd protection incompabilities. And last but not least convert the town avi files with Virtualdub.
oh ya thats the bug
the towns are avi files, and you need a codec thats not free or something.
Pools was first and Im currently playing that series. Have finished pools, hillsfar and almost curze. Theyre okay I guess even if a bit unpolished here and there. The turnbased battle has aged good. Its still interesting.I'm not sure how they'll hold up today…
But as a kid I really the DnD games. Start with Champions of Krynn then when you win you can transfer your party to Deathknights then Dark Queen.
Also, pools to curse to secrets…. Curse of the Azure bonds is very much a classic in my mind.
