Thou hath rescued the distressed damsel. But anyway, the way back home leads through a cave full of monsters. Me? No I can't escort you. I'm going on to the next level. Good luck making it back home alive.
Musically, wizards and warriors is one of the better sounding games on the NES. Every theme rocks, and some of the music is simply classic. Come on, i will never forget the game over music. Classic stuff there, my friend.
+Nocturnal Pulse All the music in this game is great. It really fits the mood. Good stuff. You'll recognize the boss theme; its a classic tune. I can't name its origin, but trust me, it'll sound familiar.
+dexterWES The game is kinda weird and creepy but also amazing when you become good at it. The sequel, iron sword is the one in the series that has the best balance from graphics to sound and music and control but some people prefer the first game and i can't blame them because the first game is so good and come so close to the sequel standard for me. I prefer the sequel just by a inch.
I remember getting the NES from Toy"R"Us and getting home only to find out it didn't come with a game, only some thick book by Nintendo. My uncle took me back to the store just before closing and this was the first game i got for it. I stayed up all night to finish it. Memories!
The fact that this game is different than mostly any other game out there does not make it fun, but the execution of all the innovative ideas does. While some games just stop at being innovative, wizards and warriors combines innovative ideas and a high level of fun factor.
+Anvil ofGods I'd say that this game deserves more credit: it's so much fun. The challenge is also quite fair, with unlimited continues and no knock back. Not to mention that when you're low on life, the music changes.
+Genji Kojima I love that the color palette is limited. Back then the games were all the more creepy for being primitive. This game is brought me so many good memories from the good old days.
+Genji Kojima This was one of those games that I played for weeks on end (which is really something considering it's not an RPG) back in the day. It's simple in its execution, but has some really great ideas that you didn't really see a lot back in those days.
Words cannot describe how important it is to get that feather at 9:25. If you skip it you'll be trapped in the 3rd stage until the enemy drop RNG is generous enough to give you a blue potion to clear the jump at 16:19. Being its a rare drop I hope you have at least an extra 20 minutes to kill on average.
We used to rent this game so much that we really should have just saved up and bought our own copy. The slight creepiness of some of the enemies is somehow very warm and comforting for me.
I played this game a lot as a kid. It was very fun even though I never really got far until I got my game genie. You made this game look way easier than it really is. I also did not know the score capped out. Nicely done Sir Xan.
+KWKBOX Ironsword is my favorite game in the series and Wizard and Warriors is not too far behind but the third game, oh boy, Kuros: Visions of Power is the worse game in the nes trilogy What do you think?
+KWKBOX I loved the hell out of this game when I was little. I never could find it at the game store to buy it, so I had to settle for renting it from local video store.
I've seen some good NES runs but this is truly impressive. This game is just about as hard as it gets (excluding infinite continues of course, but continues are for babies anyway). Well played.
+Roger Willford Good eyes. When the bat is hit in castlevania 3, it will flash for a moment and then split into two smaller bats. Each time you hit him, he splits into two smaller bats. And each time you hit one of them, they split into two smaller bats, and so forth, until his life runs out. The bat in Wizards & Warriors has a few things in common with the Castlevania counterpart.
The play control is decent, though at times it can seem kind of '"floaty". Difficult to explain without actually playing the game. The best way i can describe it is that Kuros seems to thread air in a strange way.
I wonder if my copy has a glitch because I could never get that chest to appear, There was also supposed to be one that appears to the left of the red guardian
+Excalibur Sword Of Kings I love playing the caverns levels in the first game but the city of cloud was more enjoyable in Ironsword. The giant frogs in the woods was one of the good element about the game.

I still use the door open sound effect for my phone's notification chime
Creeped me out when I was a child. I found it violent, brutal and dark. And loved it.

Abobo Akumajou your uncle is too ko0l to do that
i remember when i was a kid watching my friends brother play this. Such an awesome game
OMG bro played it when i was boy , i'm from Kazakhstan =)
I just played through this classic last night and died so many times throughout my playthrough. Well done completing it with no deaths!
I Rage quit this game when I was a kid, damn I old! Good memories.... Lol

I get the music to this game in my head quite often, first playing 88.
SAME
I beat this on a blockbuster rental. come at me bros (also, best music ever)
I beat it as a rental back in the day

Heroes of Xanadu - Sloth I have only played the first two and the original is still my favorite.
+KWKBOX I loved the hell out of this game when I was little. I never could find it at the game store to buy it, so I had to settle for renting it from local video store.
Anvil ofGods I found mine for cheap at a local Funcoland at the time.
This game was so much fun. In my NES top 5 for sure!
this game takes forever to beat

I played this as a kid. I never got past trying to climb the castle wall into the castle. It was a difficult game for me.
+Diana Cartwright Even when you find the good items and the locations of secrets gems, wizards & warriors remains a very difficult game to beat.
That Vampire Bat kinda look like the one in Castlevania 3. Amazing skills as always!

Love the intro keep it up love ur videos 💕💕
I freakin loved this game!
My favorite game. All time.
The axe is twice as strong as the dagger, inflicting 2 units of damage on enemies and bosses.
I just beat it with the dagger. Couldn't figure out why I was having such a hard time, until I saw this video. I totally forgot about the axe. Damnit.
Also if you collect enough of the axe powerup drops you gain the ability to throw two at once. Though you lose the power if you die.
The play control is decent, though at times it can seem kind of '"floaty". Difficult to explain without actually playing the game. The best way i can describe it is that Kuros seems to thread air in a strange way.
+Genji Kojima Love this game and the sequel! Such amazing music plus the tough as nails gameplay!
Not to put a damper on the festive ending, but it goes without saying that thy princess underwent a relentless series of (rhymes with tapes).
This might be the longest intro on TH-cam.
Exactly. I completely lost interest about halfway through the intro.
I wonder if my copy has a glitch because I could never get that chest to appear, There was also supposed to be one that appears to the left of the red guardian
Why the 2 and a half minute of intro?
Is it just me, or does the wizard Malkil on the box cover look like he's related to Ganondorf?
It seem most of this game take place in caverns for some reason.
+Excalibur Sword Of Kings I love playing the caverns levels in the first game but the city of cloud was more enjoyable in Ironsword. The giant frogs in the woods was one of the good element about the game.
+Excalibur Sword Of Kings Those caves were a bitch to navigate... So many failed jumps to reach keys..
this is way better then the iron sword that bull shit made me side music game play bosses just ew all the way around
Thanks bruh! ;)

Demon sword was way better than this one.
Your intro is too long. Gotta get to the title of the video asap.
It's no Deaths* and your intro is far too long and boring. Might want to fix those. :P
+SoulEaater The intro is amazing. You must be one of Malkil minions.
+SoulEaater The best intro ever made on this channel. Don't listen to that noob Xanadu.
+Mars Fire Mars Fire and Nocturnal Pulse, thanks you so much for the positive feedback, you guys just made my day !
2:30 minutes in, get to the bloody point!
