Wizards & Warriors is a platforming video game developed by Rare Ltd. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was published by Acclaim and released in North America in December 1987. In the game, players control Kuros, the “Knight Warrior of the Books of Excalibur”, as he sets out in the Kingdom of Elrond to defeat the evil wizard Malkil, who holds the princess captive in Castle IronSpire, located deep within Elrond’s forests. During the game, players make their way through forests, tunnels, and caves, battling hordes of enemies and collecting treasure, magical items, and additional weaponry to get past the obstacles and hazards that lie in their path. It was Rare’s second game released for the NES, after Slalom.
