Wizard
arcade platform game for Commodore 64, 1984
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wizard is a puzzle game with arcade action elements. The premise of the game
is to run around the screen collecting various treasures for points, avoiding
monsters. The player character must find the key, which gives him the ability
to cast magic spells such as fireballs or teleportation, and also unlocks the
exit to the next level. Each level takes up the full screen and has its own
unique hazards, such as arrows which transport the protagonist quickly, and
blocks which are removed when stepped on. The game features six difficulty
and nine speed settings. A level designer is included.
