NES Longplay [258] Wizards & Warriors 

This game is such a classic, fantastic music

Oh man the memories. Remember how excited you were to find a chest with a rare item?

I played this game so much, that first level song started stuck in my head forever and I still love it.

My favorite NES game. Everything about this game was awesome and fun

Thou hath discovered a great game.

I always loved that start up music, it always sounded so EPIC! Surprisingly good soundtrack for this old game.

My Childhood. It took me forever to remember what this game was called.

for over 26 years, I remembered this music, but I never knew what game this was. My cousin's neighbor had this, and I never knew the game title. That is crazy how VG music sticks with you for decades, even if you don't know what Game it is from.

THOU HATH DISCOVERED one of my favorite NES games!

Playing this since 80's 😄 It's like meditation to me 😊

Freakin awesome game. I remember playing and beating this game when it came out. Now when I try I cant even get pass the third stage. These old games are tough. You sir are a great gamer.

Intro is the ringtone on my phone. That’s how awesome this game and music are.

This game was fuckin fun back in the day

12:47 the quick way to defeat this boss: Run all the way to the end of the room and let the bats chase you, turn and just hold up to use the Potion of Levitation. The bats will just run right into the sword and kill themselves. No need to attack each individual one. Then the big boss will come down, keep holding the up button. He'll damage you a few times, but if your health is high enough he'll kill himself just like the rest of bats. That goes for the ghosts too.

One of the very first NES games I ever set my eyes on and played back in 1988 or 89 (even before SMB!) in my local mall. This game will always hold a special place in my heart, it was so ahead of it's time via graphics, music and playability. Even the sequels were great too and it's a crime after Wizards & Warriors 3, we'll never ever know what happened to the knight Kuros!!! There are so many fan-made NES games made on pc and I wish there would be a remake on this (but how do you already already make a remake on a perfect game?!!) or atleast a final game of the series to tell us what happened to Kuros?!! This has and forever will still have a mass army of fans (like myself ) who are still devoted to the series/franchise to a game remake calling that may never ever come...

When I was eight I played this game over and over, for some reason I liked it a lot more than Mario Bros... thank you for uploading this!

After all these fucking years I finally noticed his head looks like a giant canned ham.

I love all your videos, especially these old NES games; they really take me back.

I have an XboxOne and PS4...... I'm 39........ And the NES is still THE console. That plus Goldeneye, MarioKart64, and Mario Party on the N64. Glad I've grown through the ultimate era in gaming.

nes games give me such a strange sense of nostalgia that nothing else does. there's just something so cool and weird about them lol

An amazing game with great music.

OMG, I used to be addicted to this game. Loved it!!!

Okay, you sir are nuts! One life? Did not die??? MAXED out the scoreboard??? I bow to your skills

I bought this game at a local retro game store, at first I didn't know if it was good or not. I tried it and its pretty damn fun. Wish I was alive when this came out

memories memories........what a treat! i forgot about this game,n now i accidently stumbled across it...loved this game:)

My hat's off to you for dispatching Malkil with such ease, not to mention clearing the whole game with no Game Overs. I have no troubles with bosses the entire game until I get to Malkil. Respect!

those musics ....

The damsel in distress music also heard while climbing the castle is truly a great piece of music

The stage two boss those bats used to freak me out when i played it as a kid!

One of the greatest games on the NES ever. I freaking loved this game. I played it to. My thumbs were sore. I loved the music. I loved everything about it. It's just a masterpiece

This is one of the few 8 bit soundtracks burned into my head. One of my all time favorite games.

I remember about in 2010-2012 I'd play this game every once in a while on my NES, any my mom was always great at this game, she could get to the last level without dieing, which I never could achieve on my own lol

I loved this game. I still have the cart. Love the music!

I would do almost anything to go back to these simpler times. Even the music takes me back to nostalgia. Even rappers could sample this music.

this game and ironsword are classics in my book. i use to play these games all day

This is one of those games with unforgettable music

you can use the boots of force to open closed treasure chest, I did it all the time as a kid, great game, thanks.

What is this feeling that's overcoming me?

How to beat the final boss super easy: just wait in the lower left corner of the room. He'll only appear in one of three spots when you're in that position, all of which are easy to score hits and defend yourself from. You'll have to be patient since he'll also appear offscreen a lot, but he can't shoot his projectile offscreen so he isn't a threat when he does.

The potion theme is funny.

Thou Hath Discovered Game of Nostalgia

I'd honestly let Wayforward develop a remake for it. They have done some great stuff with retro and 2D side scrolling games. I think they would respect the series.

Amazing mobility for being in a full plate suit of armor.

thank you for this upload, ive been trying to find this game for years to remember what ive played, now i know, thank you

Loved this game back in the day also. Tree/hive music I found a bit scary when I was younger.

The "Bee-tree" after the first guard knight still haunts my nightmares from when I was a kid. The experience of "Yay I got 100 gems" and "Oh no bees! :(" is pretty emblematic of the early 90s NES experience.

Just found this game when I was cleaning out my garage, I remember spending hours and hours on it.

Where I came from, I couldn't name anyone who DIDN'T own this game. Still, it was a favorite of ours.

Lol the potion music!!! I used to hate the theme when your health was low

I loved getting to the very top of the castle and jumping off and falling for like 20 seconds.

This game was called Wizards and Warriors in regards to Dungeons and Dragons. As I recall the Rod of Wonder, Shield of Protection, Knife of Throwing. Those are ALL items in D&D. Doing exactly what they did in this game back then in the tabletop. Protection from projectiles, a throwing weapon returns, the rod does weird shit to things or zaps enemies but I believe there is something you can hit with it in this game and it does random-ish stuff to it. Was it gems or potions? Can't recall really but boots of force gave a bonus to "kicking in doors" and gave you a kick attack that did damage. I'm not sure if the game itself was meant to be Dungeons and Dragons but they couldn't get the license for it but it's chalk full of references to the classic tabletop game.

I was not expecting the sounds and music to zap me into time so hard. Jeez....I literally had flash backs off putting alcohol and even cologne on a q-tip and cleaning the cartridge trying to get this to start up. Blowing in the cartridge. And then finally SUCCESS!

Hero: "Well, Lucinda, I have freed from suspension as you lay on your knees, half-dressed and grateful for being rescued..... Well, you're on your own. I'm off to rescue someone else. Hope you find some food and your way home. Byeeee."

Wow memory is amazing because this looks different from what I remember but this is the game I’ve been trying to find

How incredible is the music in the fire level.

Be dum, de dum, be dum dum, de dum. I'll never forget that hook.

Glad you enjoyed it! Check out episode three of the game, coming out in April/May. :) ~JagOfTroy

Best music of any NES game ever

I was trying to think of what this game was called the other day. It just popped up in front of me on here. I wish I was a little kid again, ignorant to the suffering and corruption in this world.

Man, I bought this game launch date when I was a kid, the memories...

Nice to se the end finally after 30 years almost lol

Got maximum score, no deaths and saved the princess. Well done.

This game was borrowed from a neighbor and omg it was SO ADDICTING!!! Really good adventure game during release!

I remember going into the trees with the spiders and te red night wh wanted all your gems at the end of every stage. Loved that game.

He's after the Princess in the final level, dude. Kind of this games equivalent of "Thank you, Mario (or Kuros in this case), but our princess is in another castle!"

Just beat this game for the first time since i was a child. the skeleton and wizard at the end are tough as shit. still love the game though! IronSword is next!

when I'm jumping rooftops in playerunknown I remember how hard parkour was in this game. lmfao. that theme song is pure metal. sends chills. I miss 1987

man my older brother used to play this game back in the day.

I was only familiar with Ironsword Wizards and Warriors II back in day not this one the first one but it's cool where it's got it's roots from !

use to play this and watch my older cousin play all day classic game

Sure is. Despite how much I didn't like the third game, it had good music as well. The video will be up some time next month for it. :) ~JagOfTroy

The Boss Fight score awesome

I just remember this was my favorite game. Thanks for the walkthrough memories

My favorite new game of all time

15:33 could never make that jump in the second lava stage. Used to ride a bubble up and then jump.

this brings me back

thanks for posting this , really awesome game , took me back in time to being a kid

I remember getting the cloak of darkness and wondering what it was good for. Years later the internet finally provided the answer.

love the soundtrack

Oh man, I love this game!! The first NES game I ever beat... about... six years after it was released xD! My brother and I played this like crazy back in the day.

WOOOW.... I totally forgot about this game!!

Cool vid. I only played the Game Boy release through (The Fortress of Fear). Never paid much mind on the NES releases. Maybe this one to World 3 or something. Looks great. Maybe I was too young back then.

Damn, I forgot that Rare was behind these games.

You know you can kick open the chests with the boots of force, right? Not sure if you're 100%ing or something cause you missed a few keys, but just for anyones reference!

The potion melody is positively life-affirming.

thou hath discovered classic gaming

I have been thinking what the name of this game was in my head. This was my all time favorite game on NESas a kid!

Thou hath played this game to perfection.

This game has some of the best music!!!

I miss this game. And why wasn't it on Rare Replay!?

There was an NES game that was similar to this, but it was martial arts themed. You were a guy jumping through trees and stuff but you had a pair of sai instead of a sword. I forget what it is called though

Oh man I used to love this game! Music was awesome too

Such a great game... Miss it!

Anyone else have to blow on their cartridge to make it work ? ;)

A classic and one of my favorites next to rygar,punch out,section z and zelda

OG Sword & Sorcery.

Easiest way to beat wizard is stand on the LHS of the level and he’ll always respawn in one of two easily hittable places.

It's a mixture between emulation and being uploaded on RU-vid that causes the change in audio pitch.

This is the European version, due to the pitch in the audio.

Man, this game looks and sounds so much rougher than I remember.
