Wor Games

Play either single player (with CPU team mate) or 2 player co-op.

This game is inspired by the 1981 Midway arcade game Wizard of Wor and the fantastic 1984 version for the commodore 64.

I have fond memories of playing this game with my dad in the 1980s. He's now 85 at the time of release!

This is for you, dad xxx

Story

Death-matches between prisoners and monsters are fought in ever more difficult arenas known as dungeons.

Some monsters only become visible in the same hallway as a player but can be tracked on the radar.

The dungeon master, known as the Wizard of Wor may appear to seek revenge if you kill his pet worluk.

Holy cow, this is awesome! 🤩
Like you, me and my Dad played this tons on our Atari 400 when I was a kid. Wasn't exactly a relaxing play back then and glad to see your homage has the same feel.
In fact, yours sounds AMAZING!
The BASS in ur take on the classic "Get Ready" is 😚👌
Great work 👍
