[edit] Copy protection
The copy protection of Wizard had an interesting feature. If it failed, it attempted to format (blank) the disk. One cause of failure is trying to load it on a third party (e.g. MSD) drive. The icing on the cake is that the disk naturally was not write-protected out of the box. (No, this didn't actually happen to me...but I witnessed Wizard trying to destroy itself - fortunately, the owner had applied a write-protect sticker). Mirror Vax 28 June 2005 10:03 (UTC)
- Maybe that is why the first copy of Wizard I played (pirated, natch) had the construction kit missing. It wasn't until many years later, when I contacted someone with an intact (also pirated) copy of the game, and was able to use the construction kit. It was disappointing to find that it couldn't add any "magical" properties to items. — JIP | Talk 10:32, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Craig & Aaron didn't live in Dallas
- "Craig Smith and Aaron Hightower teamed up to make an improved construction set in their homes in Dallas, Texas."
They actually lived in North Richland Hills, a suburb of Ft. Worth. But I don't have any documentation to prove it; I just knew them at the time. Should I make the change?
