Description

One or two players move around a variety of line-drawn mazes shooting the creatures that wander within. Eliminating all of the monsters will advance the players to the next level. Worluks and the Wizard Of Wor himself will occasionally appear and by shooting these, you gain bonus points.

Game Introduction

The game calls the player characters Worriors. The game calls enemies respectively Burwors, Garwors, and Thorwors. Also the game calls the bonus characters Worluks and occasionally the Wizard also appears.

The game has a variety of mazes, most of which do not have names, but one of the later mazes is called “The Arena” because it has a wide open space between two walls. Another is called “The Pit” because it has no interior walls at all. The mazes all have different patterns.

Game Play

There are three aspects of the game to look for. Firstly the maze is viewed as such from above, but the player character is not. This presents the appearance of the player literally ‘walking’ on the walls as if the maze was orientated vertically. Secondly although in two-player mode, both players work together to clear the mazes, but you score points for shooting your partner! Thirdly, shooting the Worluk before it escapes results in the next maze being scored at double points. Sometimes, after you destroy a Worluk, the Wizard will attack and continuously teleport quickly from one part of the maze to another while hurling lightning bolts. You must shoot the Wizard as quickly as you can whenever he makes a brief appearance near you.
