Haha, love when he kills his wife's character on purpose. This is the same guy that teams up with the Angry Video Game Nerd, maker of some of the most entertaining let's (not) play videos on Youtube.

 

The 2600 WoW port isn't bad at all. The original is fun to play 2-player on Mame with infinite lives, until it gets too fast to be fun anymore. I never could understand what the wizard was saying, the speech synthesizer back then was...not the best.

I never could understand what the wizard was saying, the speech synthesizer back then was...not the best.

Here are some:

Hay, Your space boots untied. Ha ha ha ha.

Burwor, Garwor, and Thorwor, will do you in.

Hey, insert coin.

Another coin for my treasure chest.

Are you fit to survive the pit? Ha ha ha ha.

My creatures are radioactive.

You've just been frayed by the Wizard of Wor. Ha ha ha ha.

Your bones will lie in the dungeons of wor. ha ha ha ha.

Your explosion was music to my ears. Ha ha ha ha

 

I went though all the speech codes and wrote down every thing it said. I found all of them in the ROM file, they are all in one place. I can post all the sayings if anyone wants (75 in all).
