MiSTer FPGA – Wizard of Wor / Bally Astrocade Arcade

First try for Wizard of War, and it seems like a pretty fun two-player scoring game. The map mechanic with the disappearing enemies is interesting, and keeps you on your toes. Enemy patterns are predictable for the most part, with the magic-spamming Wizard serving as a boss at regular intervals. The voice module is neat for this one, and very talkative. I could see this being a pretty addictive score challenge for its day.
