When my family bought our first PC in 1981, Wizardry was the first computer game I played. My father taught himself assembly by writing a utility to edit bytes on a 5.25" floppy drive. I used his program to cheat and boost the scores of the characters in my party, and I still wasn't able to beat the game. Wizardry is not an easy game. Back on topic, I was in college when Doom came out, and I was as blown away as everyone else was by the graphics. The performance and playability of Doom didn't seem like it should have been possible on my Intel 80386 with 4Mb of RAM. So "wizardry" is a fair term for what Carmack and Id accomplished.
