Black tiger.

They were statues of old men that came to life and sold you shit. Shit you could never afford unless you found the secret money sacks hidden in walls throughout the game.

Because then people would grind, complain about the grinding, buy the strongest weapon, and finally complain that the game is too easy.

Not that I'm defending the endless nonsensical bullshit RPGs try to pass with a straight face, it's just not that easy.

In Mordor/Demise there is an apparently awesome weapon in the weapon store that costs far more than a beginner could pay. Once you buy it you realize that you can't hurt many opponents with it.

Also the secret shop...

A buddy and I rented this when it first came out and we were doign awesome. Made out way the underpass area and suddenly my buddy vanished.

"where the fuck are you? Did you die?"

Buddy: "I.. I don't know I didn't see what happened."

Me: "can you move?"

Suddenly I find the door. Nearly fall out of my chair when i see what they have for sale.

I drew/edited them myself using the Cosmic Forge editor.

It's an old series of programs that let you modify Wizardry 6, 7, and 8. As far as I know, there's no way to import portraits in the face editor so one will have to doodle it or follow a guide themselves.
