Just as my other readers, I will be working on continuously updating this as I find more material. There are a few major archives to look through. First is filling out the rest of the “Oops Wizardry” column from Technopolis. There could also be a little bit more material on various ports in specialty magazines, such as Saturn Fan, Sega Saturn Magazine, MSX Fan, MSX Magazine, Family Computer, and Famimaga. The last two in particular are perhaps the most important as they could potentially fill in gaps for the Super Famicom ports of Wizardry V and VI, as well as supplement more information on Gaiden IV. Famitsu too can be given a more thorough search. Otherwise, with what has been archived online, I do not believe I will find additional printed material on Legacy of the Princess, Dimguil, and the Busin and XTH duologies. There is also the Wizardry manga and various guides. The former can be found in select issues of Monthly ASCII Comics, a few which are available on the Internet Archive. The latter can be found on e-hentai (NSFW).
Putting together this list would not have been possible without the preservation work done by archivists. This includes Dustin Hubbard and Joey ‘Detchibe’ Wawzonek of Gaming Alexandria, rage_beat06, F_T_B, Kitsunebi, and many others.
