M&M X Legacy easily chews up 5 GB from my RAM, thus using the paging file. There must be some memory leak somewhere. And it's even worse under x86 systems.

Yeah, Wizardry 8 is supreme when it comes to "turn-based combat" crawlers.
You could even play this shit in real-time...but who ever has done THAT?

You really should try out Wizards & Warriors if you don't know it already.

It's the most similar to Wiz 8 that exists, because it's the child of the departed lead Designer of Sir-Tech, but sadly forgotten.

Review:
D.W. Bradley and his development staff have created a game that excels in all categories, with an extreme for detail in every part of the game.

Sadly it was full of bugs when it came out and was overshadowed by Wiz 8 and so got never the fame it deserves.

Problem is to get a working copy. And you need Windows XP or Windows Millenium, if I remember right.
Also essential is the "unofficial" Wizards & Warriors Patch v1.00 and the Wizards & Warriors Graphics Patch

Didn't know about this game. It looks so cool and old school. Where can you get a copy? but I doubt it will run under Win7 x64.

Well if it is MS-DOS, we have DOSBox too.
