    It's worth playing if you're interested in playing as Mario with a sword.

    An awesome, immortal classic...

    By vladdimir | Review Date: Sep 19, 2006 | NES

    Wizards & Warriors: my first video game obsession, and one of the few games that I don't feel cheap for maxing out tilt.

    By Jah_Glow | Review Date: Aug 08, 2006 | NES

    I may not recall when I first played this game, but I know for a fact that my father bought it when it came out and I spent a long time in my amnesic youth watching him and my family members taking turns playing it. All ... Read Full Review
