The professional use of music, spells and a screen construction option sets Wizard apart from the run-of-the-mill platform games.

Its hundred screens will challenge even the expert "miners" and even when they have been conquered you can design even tougher ones.

Each screen contains a series of platforms, ropes, ladders, monsters and treasures including a lock and a key. These are especially important as you must place the key in the lock to progress to the next level.

Finding the key also gives you a number of spells that are different for each screen. These include invisibility, haste, teleport, freeze and fireballs.

The use of magic is particularly impressive as it goes beyond the usual continuous tune but instead adds sound effects. For example, climbing a rope or ladder is accompanied by a musical scale which adds to the presentation of a very professional game.

The game also has the added bonus of a construction set for when you can master all the screens at all the levels, where you can add fires, spells, monsters, lifts and ropes to existing screens or create a new one completely from scratch.

All in all, Wizard is yet another excellent argument for buying a disk drive.
