Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is a classic role-playing game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. This AC fix addresses a bug where the armor class value did not influence the monster's attack roll effectively. The patch also corrects a typographical error. Players can apply the fix using patching tools on the original game ROM.
Some would think there are no major bugs in Wizardry 1 but after playing a while would see that the monsters melee hit chances remain the same for all displayed AC values.
After a more in-depth look it turned out to be a simple mistake. AC is calculated normally but not taken into account for the attack roll. A 1 byte change of code was all that was needed.
Also fixed an annoying typo (”spitits” to “spirits”).
