WIZARD ’ S DOOM FOR THE TI-99/4A EXTENDED BASIC 32K MEMORY DISK SYSTEM BACKGROUND Many decades of peace have passed since the realm was tormented by the Evil Wizard... First he was slain in the dungeon of Weymoor Castle, and then in the dungeon of Bleylock Castle, both times by brave and mighty heroes. All the good folk of the realm prayed and hoped that he was gone forever… Alas, it was not to be. The Evil Wizard has returned by means sinister and unknown. People now whisper that he cannot be truly killed, for he has achieved some terrible mastery over life and death in his travels in the forbidden zone. He has claimed the dungeon of ruined Maldred Castle to fulfill his malevolent designs and wreck vengeance upon all that opposed him. Strange fell creatures have been seen abroad at night, emerging from the dungeon depths to plague the innocent and bring valuable treasures back to the Wizard. The King has offered a great reward to the would-be slayer of the Evil Wizard, but such wealth is nothing compared to what the Wizard possesses... Since his return, many great warriors and skilled magic-users have entered the dungeon, seeking to kill the Evil Wizard once and for all and lay claim to the vast store of riches he possesses. None have ever returned to the light of day. And now it is your turn. You approach the dungeon's dark malodorous entrance, with only a few simple weapons and spells at hand to fight the forces of evil. As you enter the darkness the doors slowly swing shut behind you and an evil cackle arises from the depths... You grimly move forward to find your destiny...

Every class begins with a STICK for a weapon, which will be discarded whenever a better weapon is found.
