Wizard of Wor is an action-oriented game for one or two players. The game takes the form of several maze-like dungeons infested with monsters. The players' characters, called Worriors, have to kill all the monsters. Player one has yellow Worriors, on the right, and player two has blue Worriors, on the left. In a two-player game, the players are also able to shoot each other's Worriors, earning bonus points and causing the other player to lose a life. Team-oriented players can successfully advance through the game by standing back-to-back (such as in a corner) and firing at anything that comes at them.

More detailed sprites and faster movement make it an improvement over older maze games, but it just doesn't keep my attention for long. Also, the nonsense aesthetic has always irritated me.

I mean its one of the million Pac-Man clones that came out in the early 1980s, except you can have two people playing at once and you have goddamn guns LMAO.

Wizard of Wor is fun - but something I got bored after just a couple rounds. Nothing to really write home about, but still a fine time. The fact it’s such a blatant ripoff just with guns and better multiplayer slapped on it makes me rank it lower than the average 3/5 (which I like to rate games that fulfill what they’re intending to do). The way it kind of has these more difficult “boss” like creatures that come out, forcing you to kill them before they escape, was fun, and worth mentioning, but not enough for me to push the star rating any further.

2.5/5

I didn't have the worst time while playing this, but I wouldn't say I had a ton of fun either. I thought the graphics definitely felt alright for the system and had a unique way of playing through it.

Highly recommend playing w a friend, surprisingly great PvPvE game from the same year Black Sabbath released Heaven and Hell.

Repetitive and uninspired game ripping of Pac-Man but less fun. Big sprites for the time, I guess. Overall not awful but not good either.
