I did not really get or notice the joke about the blade cuisinart- until just recently(your post here Paul) !!
But I read on wikipedia, that the japanese had problems figuring out some stuff - or quite many things they just could not know: O
Zed5Duke. Kusari gama is a dangerous weapon, but you had chance to win against it. Kusari gama is tricky because user can cheat on the range - make it appear to reach 5 metres instead of 6 metres( approximative values) by keeping some portion of the chain back in hand. I would make it a dual wield 2H weapon. For inspiration on ninja style weaponry, go visit wikipedia. Ok until then

So Bane of the Cosmic Forge is Wiz6 ..hah yes I played it a bit. I only have problems to run wiz7 but finally found version which is easy to install and run. You actualy dont need to instal it from iso or anything like that. If anybody else have this problems, get it from HERE Pre-installed version Just unpack it and type (mount etc.) then play.bat in dosbox, so simple!

Important:
To save game create folder "gam1" inside dsavant
In dosbox config set resolution 640x480
Cycles 3000 (above it game slow down)
In content is txt file with manual passowrds but not all, here is better:

Have Played Wizardty 1 Long time ago
Have Played Wizardty 2 Long time ago
Have Played Wizardry 6 Bane of Cosmic Forge 18 Years ago +
Have Played Wizardry 7 Crusade of the Dark Savant DOS version 17 years + Gold Last Summer (loved it)
Have Played Wizardry 8 twice when it came out
Have also played Wiazards & Warriors another great game but with some bugs
All of D.W. Bradley games where great and to my mind he was one of the greatest
game designers of all time
its a shame wizardry 9 was cancelled and the trade mark has been sold
I cannot comment on the new Japonese series using the tradmark

@PaulH: How far along has this progressed? It looks great! Keep up the good work.

@PaulH: Any chance you'll finish this? It looks great and I'd love to try a version of BotCF using the DM rules.
