In memory of my best friend Craig Terran, we used to play this at the Northglenn Mall in Northglenn, CO, must have spent a hundred or more dollars over the couple of years that we played it. Great memories from back in the 80's, RIP good buddy, it was a blast!
I played this game like how a crack addict hits a pipe when I was a kid. I never got far because the game was hard as hell, I spent at least fifty bucks in quarters monthly to kill the Wizard. It was only the last time I played it I finally summoned the wizard. On my last life I finally got to face him and he teleported behind me and zapped me. I was so frustrated I gave up. Just recently, 10 years later I got the chance to play it again on the same 30+ year old arcade cabinet. After killing the third Wurlock I finally summoned that damned wizard again and again I was on my final life. Ironically he teleported in front of me this time and before he could turn around I blasted his ass, it was over in a second. The cabinet was so old it couldn’t handle the noise output or the flashing screen and it broke down right there in front of me. 10 years later I killed the Wizard of Wor. I made it past my childhood pain, killed the Wizard of Wor, and killed the machine itself. I felt like a rockstar.
I played this game at the Dragon's Dungeon arcade in Fullerton, Ca and yes it was a bitch. I use to go with a buddy and we would do the back to back thing but the endless button mashing wrecked our wrists. The games sounds were amazing and the Wizard was epic.
I'm a year late but congratulations, man! I can totally see the machine's first Wizard kill in a decade or more and already being almost 40 years old doing the CRT in. Or maybe you killed the Wizard so hard that you fried the board itself. Love these little yet big victories in life. Great story!
From a fellow old school gamer who rode many bike rides down to Dill Days party store with to play this game the cabinet was cool and I was obsessed with the game unfortunately it wasn't there long and I never had the joy of slaying the wizard but I can celebrate through your victory and to say we'll done !
Loved this as a kid in the 80s .. those synthesized voices are classic. Spent hours upon hours glued to it. Man I miss those days. Glad to have it now on my Arcade1up
I use to have the full stand up coin arcade of this game in my basement. The music was creepy and scared the shit out of me when I was a kid in the 80's. Imagine this game music in a dark cold basement at night. Ha ha ha!
I never knew that touching the monsters does not kill you; Only their shots do! That is actually fair! Yeah, this game used to kick my teenage ass back in the day (but I'd always come back for more, which is the true sign of a great game). [edit: I guess cheats were used. Never mind. :( ]
I got the midway arcade collection for my xbox one because it was free with gold. I gotta say I love these arcade games. Without these amazing games we wouldn't have what we have today.
This game was hard.especially killing the Wizard.This version has clearly been modded.I see the wizard shot you in the back in a few stages and you didn't die.
Judging by the designs of some of the characters. There is a possibility that the creators of this game drew inspiration from Ralph Bakshi's 1977 animated post-apocalyptic science fantasy film Wizards.
I know... right...?! *_*LOL...!!!!!*_* XD *_Seriously,_* video games were in their infancy way back then, so it's not surprising there that voices still had a ways to go in terms of perfection in video games way back in the 1970's and 1980's.
Memories OMG.. I remember being addicted to this game back in the early 80's as a young teen. When I ran outta quarters, I would be bumming them off people lol. "You got a quarter I can borrow man?" Ahahah!
This game is somehow rigged. the real wizard of Wor creatures will kill the worlords by just touching them and even when the wizard himself hits you with the lightning bolts your worlords don't die. I was always a high score player back in the 80's and know this game inside out.
This is a game with a cheat patch applied, in lieu of a rack test, so that all the levels could be shown. This is invaluable to me, as I am starting work on a Wizard of Wor port for the ColecoVision, and I need to see all the level data.
The speech synthesis in this game was groundbreaking for its time. It was also VERY difficult to understand... So it's supposed to have those sparkling dots all over the screen? I thought the machine was malfunctioning!
it was my favorite game when I was a child in 90's also. when I finished all my money ,in an atari salloon...it got be evening and time to go home. Loves from Turkey.
The barely intelligible but suggestive synthetic voice clips pumped up to 11 gave this machine huge presence in the arcades. Also the creepy organ chords are amazing
@@MrPlastkort 1,000 Points, which could also be doubled after a Worluk. Joust revamped this theme later (interestingly enough, with the same two player colors, yellow and blue).
If you play with two players you can stand back-to-back in a corner and just fire continuously. It might take awhile for all the enemies to come to you, but you will be nearly invulnerable.
wow...i played the heck out of this game as a kid...me and my brother had a cheat book that showed you wer to stand and hide to kill the monsters..Awesome game...
...and thirty years later, we _finally_ have a worthy spiritual successor to Wizard of Wor: Lesbian Spider-Queens of Mars. Seriously. If you take away LSQoM's naughty title and all the topless Martian babes, you're left with a pretty solid Wizard of Wor retread. The regular Slaves are Burwors, the Princesses are Worluks, we don't have any Garwors or Thorwors who turn invisible and shoot at you (but instead we have a few other enemies with other abilities, like Gladiators who run straight at you at Mach 1 and Armored Slaves who can't be zapped from the front), and instead of a Wizard of Wor, it's like they took another Worrior, turned the Worrior into a second half-spider woman and gave her invulnerability to all front and side attacks. That's Queen Tarantula in a nutshell. So it's good to see that Wizard of Wor hasn't been completely forgotten three or four decades later; it's still inspiring its successors. Now we need a Virtual Reality Wizard of Wor with today's graphics and voice tech, and we'll have everything we need. :)
I remember this game from teenage years. I remember scratching my head wondering why the wizard said "Baa Baa Baa" all the time. I remember the end of Maze music still - I suspect WWE used it as inspiration for Kane's original entrance theme.
I was looking through so many comments to find someone else who hear "Thou Art Dead" (closed captions have him saying "Cha cha cha cha.... Cha cha cha cha....)
I love the music. Wish i could get a good sample of Just the level start music or when you hit the wizard into level start. Wizard's voice is also awesome
I only ever saw this game once in arcades, back in probably 1983 at the downtown arcade next to the movie theater just down from the Dairy Queen. Every now and again we'd get ice cream and my mom would give me a couple of quarters to play some games down there at the arcade and once I did remember seeing this game, never saw it again at any arcade after that. The digitized voice is what really stuck out as well as the creepy music.
I played this often as a teen. The gun would not reload until the bullet either hit one of the creatures or a boundary line. So if you missed your shot out in the open you were basically screwed. It could be played by either one or two people and as a two person game you could die by friendly fire. What is presented in this video capture doesn't in any way give an authentic depiction of the original game. The musical cues sound very much like the original but the graphics look like a cheap Atari home version. First time I dropped a quarter in the machine, I knew absolutely nothing about the game and when I saw the Wizard for the first time, it was truly a WTF moment. This was back before there was dazzling CGI so in its time it was really something special.
Actually a great question. It predates the sampling laws that came around in the late 80's / early 90's. For example the Beastie Boys 'No Sleep Til Brooklyn' has backing drums stolen directly from Led Zepplins 'When the Levy Breaks' but at that time it was not illegal to do so.
One of the first arcade games I remember playing as a little kid. Needed a stool to reach the controllers. I'd play with my cousin 2 player. We'd stand back to back and just kept firing. It worked pretty well lol.
Games with speech like Wizard of Wor, Gorf, and Berzerk fascinated me so much that I ended up creating an application to read email and web pages with computerized speech over the phone.
This was at troy michigan YMCA in the 80s. I watched older kids play the game. When wizard was summoned it was a huge deal. I was actually scared of it.
This may have been the game that pioneered the Metal Slime trope ("Dragon Quest" wouldn't be around for another six years). Hard to kill enemies (in this case, the Worluk) that are worth a hefty sum.
I remember they had this at Big Lots but I almost never got to play it, and I lost right sway when I did. The voice synthesizer was hard to understand. I thought it was saying, "I need a Wizard of Wor."
On 057, it’s absolutely confirmed that Nintendo took inspiration from that melody as the intro in donkeykongkong ,the first part of the melody sound exactly the same, this cannot be an coicidance,right? Eitherway it’s awesome to hear that melody😁
Watched the players walk straight through a monster and not die. Been awhile since I've played this, but don't remember that being possible. Must be missing something I'm missing
The creepy music and voice is the game. I like it but it’s hard. Most of them were because they wanted you to feed quarters in and you had nowhere else to play video games
Are you running this on some kind of mod? I've seen monsters go through you, shots not connect, shots not kill the other player... Neat nostalgia but this game is a player killer big time. Oh, and as a brat I got to the void all the time. Wanted to play Joust but the adults at the bar had it forbidden for kids to touch.
From 9:57 funny how the wizard of wor appears on top of both worriors back to back without killing them ... because he's firing away from them. I don't know how perceptive you are to the sounds but if you played this game for years like i did the sounds could tell exactly where the wizard was going to appear next.long Corridor or right next to you. Or even on top of you. I loved when i knew he was appearing on top of my worrior and i would trail him and of course his presence in the same box with you like all the monsters was going to repel and bounce you backwards. And that's when i'd shoot him and duck.
Even as a kid, I always thought of arcade games as a scam. It always seemed wrong to me that your game would be over really quickly if you weren't good at the game, especially for kids who didn't have much money to spend in the first place.
When myself and a Bud would play this game back in the day we would find a spot and stand back to back to kill anything in front of us...good times....by the way the machine is trying to insult you and laugh at you during game play

I could tell, yellow player should be killed so many times...and the wizard and warlock didn't stay on screen nearly that long

some dungeons that would work , some not
Well, its a poor plan that cannot be changed
This is nice thanks
This is just good advice for real life. The importance of teamwork.
This game kinda scared me back in the day with the music and the voice. Surprisingly, Gorf, which used the same speech synth, didn't scare me at all.

I wouldn't dare think of playing the blue astronaut.
"Hey! Insert coin! Find me... the Wizard of Wor!!!!!!"
Crazy sound. We played it on the C64, that was the hottest shit.
Is that where the laughter of monster house comes from?
This music is creepy!

Damn, the sound quality on this video is incredible. I don't even care that you're cheating.
Pizza shop at the corner had this, zaxxon and galaga. Spent alot of money there.
It seems harder to die in this version compared to C64. Quite a few times the monsters touched the player characters with no effect.

Used to tear this game up!..
This guy is cheating, He is playing in God mode🤣
No doubt all games try to get you addicted to the music as well.
Thanks guys!...thanks for the memories!
That was a great game
Does the voice get referenced in monster house for thou art dead?
Yes. The "Ha Ha Ha Ha" is a reference to this game
Dunno how I didn't put this together used to play wizard of wor alot. And I watched plenty of monster house. Cool to know thx.
