When I was seven years old, I had a birthday party at an arcade, and they had Wizard of Wor. It was the first time I ever played it. I thought it was pretty cool when I took out the Worluk.
Very nice gameplay, I've been playing this ritualistically on Midway Treasures 2 and Origins. Little caution though: Treasures has faster gameplay than Origins, but music is replaced by lots of beeps, plus the Wizard tends to get very chatty.
I wonder if someone has a good ear to robotic voices. Know what he's saying. 0:58 Jumpscare already. 1:43 1st epilepsy. 1:45 1st FULL scary music FX. And you can command 2 of the worriors yourself!?
I think the game uses the same speech synthesizer chip as the one used in Q*Bert. In that game, the characters were originally supposed to speak English, but the speech was so unintelligible that the developers used the chip to make random sounds.

@Akira625 Some are comprehensible. Gonna need a volunteer to help us out.
May even have been the very first video game with a Metal Slime prize (kill a very difficult enemy for a hefty reward).
Sometimes the wizard is hard to beat.
Year of release?
Nm it reads 1980 on title screen.
