Players control a separate squadron of worriors and compete for score at the same time. Worriors descend into various dungeon mazes, battling visible and invisible monster Worlings, and maybe the Wizard himself. Teamwork in the two player mode is important -but not necessary to play. If one player mode is selected, the computer becomes the second player.
The object of Wizard Of Wor is to descend into the many dungeons of Wor, killing monsters, beating the Wizard and earning a high score.
Dungeon maze patterns appear at random and have Escape Doors at either end. These are used for strategic exit and entry by Worriors to outwit the monster Worlings. They are also a means of escape for Worluk. If this monster is hit by either player, the score of subsequent play is doubled. The Radar Screen reveals the general location of invisible monsters in the maze to alert the Worriors.
Throughout the game, the Wizard talks to players with 71 challenging phrases to incite continued play. Full color video screen is accented by action sounds and haunting mood music.
