@dwr The first couple of Wizardry games are notoriously difficult to run. In order to do that you should create a party on a disk first, and that's not an easy task on a Windows machine using a DOS emulator.

this game refers to inserting floppy disks which is confusing
In the game it refers to the symbol and ESC, neither of which work

I am trying to use D-Fend to run proving grounds. It attempts to load but goes blue screen and shuts down, what can I do?
