Ich trau mich nicht ran - ich hab so viele gute Erinnerungen an das Original und fürchte das Remake kann dem niemals gerecht werden. Hat's jemand von euch getestet?

So, both text adventures (Zork etc) and CRPGs (Ultima, Wizardry etc) came around late 70s early 80s.
But I've never seen a hybrid of the two. I mean an Infocom style puzzle/adventure game, but with combat, items etc.
Or a dungeon crawler with the flavorful exploration and puzzles of a text adventure.
It seems like a good fit, and closer to P&P than the pure hack & slays of the time. So why wasn't this ever a thing?
Tomorrow, join @Kawaiipandax and @JxRK for some #Wizardry on Twitch! Both worked on our early-access remake, but this #NES session's just for fun. See you at Saturday Oct 7 at 2pm PT/5pm ET at twitch.tv/digitaleclipsestudios
