Description of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (also known as ウィザードリィ狂王の試練場, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord!, Paladin, Dungeons of Despair) is a game published in 1984 by Sir-tech Software, Inc., the theme is medieval / fantasy, turn-based. It features a role-playing (rpg) genre and uses a 1st-person perspective.

Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the first Wizardry scenario and is designed to introduce you to Wizardry, give you practice playing, and allow you to "build" characters up to 7th level or so.

The evil wizard Werdna has stolen a valuable item from the treasure rooms of the mad overlord Trebor. He has placed it somewhere deep in the dungeons of Trebor's castle, and left fearsome monsters there to guard it. Your mission is
to develop characters powerful enough to explore the deeper levels of the dungeon and recover the item.

It is rumored that a "control center" exists somewhere in the dungeon, and that this control center allows explorers easy access to the deeper levels of the dungeon where the item may be found. Thus a logical first step would be to find this facility.
