Yyyyep, doesn't matter what version of Wizardry, a quick finger on the power or reset button (before autosave kicked in) was an essential tool in the war against insta-kill enemies.
I also like how I-8's using graph paper to map the dungeon with. That's exactly how we used to do it back in the old days, kids; in the absence of automapping it was entirely too easy to get lost, especially in Wizardry with all its nasty teleport traps, spinners, and other navigational hazards.
