Wizard! Wizardry VI, VII, and 8 Are Now For Sale On Steam

Night Dive, the people who managed to retrieve System Shock 2 from the abyss and release it once more, are back. And this time they've brought Wizardry VI, VII and 8 with them. All three are now on Steam, in working-on-a-modern-PC-versions. It's time to party.
