Wizardry became especially influential in Japan, where its party-based dungeon design fed into the development of later console role-playing games. Maps become emotional objects in exploration games. An empty corner is not blank space once the player suspects the designer hid something there. An unexplored patch of map can generate more curiosity than a treasure chest already sitting in front of you.

Two minutes of rabbit hole

The Secret of Monkey Island turned sword fighting into a battle of jokes in 1990. Players had to learn insulting lines and the correct witty comebacks, making vocabulary at least as dangerous as the blade. And for something completely different: Baldur's Gate arrived in 1998 and helped revive large computer role-playing games at a time when the genre was considered commercially uncertain. Its party-based adventures helped set the stage for a new wave of CRPGs.
