Descpription: Wizard of Wor is an action-oriented game for one
or two players. The game takes the form of several maze-like dungeons
infested with monsters. The players' characters, called Worriors, have
to kill all the monsters. Player one has yellow Worriors, on the
right, and player two has blue Worriors, on the left.

In a two-player game, the players are also able to shoot each other's
Worriors, earning bonus points but causing the other player to lose a life.

Team-oriented players can successfully advance through the game by standing
back-to-back (such as in a corner) and firing at anything that comes at them.

Each dungeon consists of a single-screen rectangular grid with walls and
corridors in various formations. The Worriors and the monsters can travel
freely through the corridors. Each dungeon has doors at the left and right
edges, which connect with each other, making the dungeon wrap around.

Whenever a door is traversed by a player or monster, they deactivate for
a short period, making them impassible. A player who exits the door can pop
back through the door immediately when the Worluk or Wizard is in the dungeon.
