In their regular feature discussing defunct franchises, 'Sequel, Spin-off, Start Over or Stay Dead,' Diehard GameFAN takes a look at Sir-Tech's RPG classic Wizardry series.
The verdict is mixed, with 2 votes for a sequel, and 2 votes for the series to remain dead. Here's a sample from one of the votes for resurrection of the franchise:

More information.I want a sequel to Wizardry...I want a game that challenges my intelligence and overall knowledge in addition to my skills as a gamer. I want something that...is that balls to the walls hard, manages to be almost completely different from 99% of RPG’s out there and yet has conventional trappings so people can learn to play it. Most of all I want a game that outright shows that today’s level of would-be hard games are nothing, NOTHING compared to the challenge of titles that were put out in the 80’s, especially by Sir-Tech. I know I won’t get it, but it’s what I want. Even though expecting a product like this to hit the market these days is akin to total insanity, I still want another Wizardry game. Sure The Dark Spire is wonderful, but I want the continuity, characters, classes, and style of the real thing...I want that combined feeling of awe, frustration, determination and love that I had for RPG’s when I was a small boy – something I haven’t had in a long time. More importantly, I want this new generation of gamers to experience it. Not just for the challenge or the style, but to see the roots of this genre and give it the respect it is due.
