Obscure DOS Shareware Game: War Wizard (1993)

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

I always wanted to try this game. The only copy I could ever find was on a shareware compilation and the game seems bugged all to heck because it refuses to work past putting your character name in. The end of this video is where it crashes!

Wikipedia Says: WarWizard was a fantasy computer role-playing game that was released as shareware in 1993, first for Amiga, then ported to Ms-Dos for IBM-compatible computers. It was developed by MicroGenesis, a small company founded by Brad McQuaid and Steve Clover in 1989. Today, the game is most notable as the commercial start for McQuaid, Clover, and artist Milo Cooper, who would later work together at Sony Online Entertainment on EverQuest and at Sigil Games Online on Vanguard: Saga of Heroes.
The player acts as a “WarWizard”, a powerful magic-using character that fights and completes quests. WarWizard features VGA graphics and sound effects, but touted greater emphasis on gameplay than on anything else.
One notable feature of the game was its combat mode, which featured the ability to target specific parts of an opponent’s body, hampering movement or disabling the opponents altogether, rendering them unable to flee from the battle or to retaliate. The same thing could also happen to the player, WarWizard, himself.
Today, the game is mostly unknown except to a few fans and appears impossible to find anywhere on the net. Even the official site, which became unavailable from September 2007 (possibly connected to Sony Online Entertainment’s takeover of Sigil Games Online on 15 May, 2007), offered only a shareware version of the game for download. According to Brad McQuaid, the full version seems to be misplaced and nowhere to be found.
Few people mentioned to have ordered the full Ms-Dos/PC Version of WarWizard at the time, but never received any answer or the game. It appears that the game has been discarded by its makers without any chances ever for the full version to become available today for anyone.

UPDATE, NEW FEATURE:
DOWNLOAD THE SHAREWARE:

This is the only download available of the game on the whole internet apparently… See if you can get it to run better than I could.
