Keys Of The Wizard is not an adventure for the puzzle player, more for those of us who like a colourful jaunt around another land, pausing only to pick up treasures and, of course, massacre the odd creature. Read Review
An engrossing and well-constructed adventure, although some Americanisms have remained in the program. Read Review
A high speed, machine code adventure game, which is randomized so that no two games are ever exactly the same. Find all the treasures and store them safely in the sanctuary, whilst fighting off the creatures which can attack at any time, avoiding traps and tricks. Played in real time. Over 200 rooms. Three skill levels. Save game to tape feature. 1 or 2 Joysticks required.
All the commands are two word (one verb and one noun) commands with the exception of the following:
NORTH (N), SOUTH (S), EAST (E), WEST (W), UP (U), DOWN (D), QUIET (Q), UNCLE, REST (R), INVENTORY (INV)
Just press N, S, E, W, U or D to go in the appropriate direction. The location description will tell you which directions are available at any time during the game.
INV
This wil tell you what you are carrying at any time during the game.
QUIET
This will temporarily halt the action of the adventure to allow the player to take a break. Current game status may be saved from this mode by pressing the "!" key. (See Saving Game To Tape). Pressing W will resume the current adventure. Pressing "$" or typing "UNCLE" will start a new game.
When you die, you will automatically go into the "QUIET" mode and then the status of the game can be saved to tape. Ensure a blank cassette is inserted into your tape recorder and that it is wound past the red leader and that the "Play" and "Record" buttons are depressed before hitting the "!" key.
READY
This is used to prepare a weapon for combat. Readying a weapon will force you to drop everything except the weapon and won't allow you to "get" anything until you "un-ready" it. During the time that a weapon is "ready", creature attacks will not be so severe. Type "READY (name of weapon)".
REST
This used to help rebuild your physical strength. It also causes the creatures to move at 60 times their normal speed and to recuperate at 12 times that of normal. Creatures will also do twice as much damage to you if they attack while you're resting.
DROP Type "DROP (name of weapon/object)". This is used in two ways:
