There is an ancient legend passed down by deep space travelers. The legend of the Wizard of Wor. It tells of an evil wizard who studied in the sciences of dimensional travel and teleportation.

It is said that the Wizard possesses the ability to entrap travelers at any point in space and teleport them to his labyrinthian planet. A planet populated by an array of malevolent creatures, all teleported there against their will. The wizard entertains himself by watching these creatures battle each other in a struggle for survival in the land of Wor.

At the beginning of each dungeon, the 'Worriors' (no that's not a typo they are called Worriors in this game - Ed) are located in the start area. To enter the maze, press up on the joystick. A Worrior cannot be harmed while in the start area, but only has ten seconds before being forced into the maze. Once in the maze, use the joystick to guide the Worrior through the maze and attack the monsters. Guide your Worrior to the red tunnel to warp from one side to the other. The red tunnel can only be used when it is open (it will show a red arrow) and closes for a few seconds once it is used. The enemies can also use the tunnel so be on the lookout!

Champ Games has created 99 devious dungeons that the Wizard dares you to enter! There are many types of dungeons that your Worriors will need to master to move on to the next and continue your battle with the Wizard! This port of Bally/Midway's 1981 arcade game and the CBS Atari 2600 game release has been amazingly redone. All of the excitement, atmosphere and speech from the original has been translated beautifully to this cartridge, you'll hardly believe you're playing an Atari 2600 game.

Wizard Of Wor Arcade is available for purchase from the AtariAge store in your choice of either NTSC and PAL60 television formats.
