Re: Wizardry 1: How are you supposed to win this?

The creeping coins are all over levels 2 and 3, but you have to play
honestly to
find them (i.e., if you characters are all level 8 or so before you go to
those 
levels, you never find them).  If you have a party of level 4's and 5's and
go to
the second level, they show up.  Or, if you take the stairs from level 2 to
3 and 
hang out on level 3 a while they often show up, and, if not, you can run
into them
on level 2 on the way out to the castle.
