Play Wizardry I - Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (Japan) Online – Game Boy Color (GBC) Game

Game Overview

Step into the dungeon-crawling classic that started it all with Wizardry I: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord on Game Boy Color! This legendary RPG pioneered the genre with its deep turn-based combat, fiendish puzzles, and unforgiving difficulty—now packed into a portable adventure. Create your party of warriors, mages, and thieves, then brave the labyrinthine depths of Trebor’s castle, where deadly traps, hidden secrets, and the Mad Overlord himself await.

Though the Game Boy Color version keeps the game’s old-school charm intact, it’s a perfect way to experience the roots of dungeon RPGs on the go. Just don’t expect hand-holding—this is a game where strategy, patience, and a well-drawn map (yes, on actual paper!) are your best allies. If you love Dark Souls or Etrian Odyssey, you owe it to yourself to try the granddaddy of them all. Will your party survive the trials, or will the Overlord claim another batch of fools?
