It’s true. I cannot count how many hapless adventurers I’ve lost forever in the first few floors of the Proving Grounds. It’s amazing to me that a game so harshly difficult was such a massive hit. It’s not “tough but fair”; it’s just an asshole.

As for which version to play, as wonderful as the Digital Eclipse’s version is, I’m predicting the definitive way will be the Apple II “Wizard Replay” collection being put together by 4am. It will be packed with many classic scenarios (official and third-party), will include all of the bug fixes that have gone into Proving Grounds, and have some utilities to make life a bit easier for the player.
