Item Description
Wizard of Wor is a dungeon shooter with a mean streak and a sense of humor. Created by Dave Nutting Associates for Midway's 1981 arcade cabinet, it drops one or two armored Worriors into a series of mazes crawling with monsters, and the arcade original famously taunted players with synthesized speech while they fought.
Each dungeon begins with Burwors stalking the corridors, soon joined by Garwors and Thorwors, which have a nasty habit of turning invisible until they are almost on top of you. A radar display at the bottom of the screen tracks what you cannot see, and learning to read it is the difference between a short game and a long one. Clear the maze and the Worluk appears; destroy it before it escapes and the next dungeon pays double points. Bring it down and the Wizard himself may arrive, teleporting through the maze and hunting you until he is killed or claims a Worrior.
The real magic is two-player play. Two Worriors share the dungeon at the same time, cooperating to clear it or competing for points, and because you can shoot your partner as easily as the monsters, friendly fire turns every session into a negotiation. Simultaneous two-player play was still rare in arcades in 1981, and the way Wizard of Wor built its tension around it is a big part of why players still seek it out.
The Atari 5200 version keeps that two-player heart intact. Its graphics are simple by today's standards, but the push and pull of a crowded maze, the constant glance at the radar and the looming threat of the Wizard make it habit-forming in exactly the way the arcade game was. Few arcade conversions on the system have as much personality, and few cartridges on it are more fun with a friend on the second controller.
