/vr/ - Retro Games

I'd really like to get into old-school blobbers. I read about cRPG history all the time, but getting into the games proper is a bitch for me. Isometric RPGs with easy mouse interfaces were common when I started gaming, so it's very daunting to go back to barely textured dungeons.
I've started Might & Magic I, figuring I'd prefer its more adventurous approach to hardcore shit like Wizardry. Is it even worth it making my own maps, though? I can't imagine constructing 50+ sheets of graph paper by bumping into walls. Any advice to ease me into it is appreciated.
