Review and Download (if available)

one of Sierra first games.

btw. the Pics are broken.

The Wizard and the Princess is #2 in the Hi-Res Adventure Series, so the #1, Mystery House, should be the first adventure game with graphics. But probably there is an even earlier one buried under metres of dust somewhere.

But I don't think it ever came out on PC though. I mean, even this game was ported to PC 2 years later. I could be wrong though, but I guess it really might be the first PC graphically enhanced adventure.

I think this is the first one with color graphics...I had Mystery House as a kid and it was just white line drawings on a black background. The graphics were terrible by today's standards but it was one of the first adventure games to have ANY graphics, so we didn't complain ;)

Er, I haven't played the game yet, but isn't one of the screenshots spoiling it? Telling you to use the rock to kill the snake.

Not really. Do you have the rock in your inventory???

Hope this game doesn't end up like the game Transylvania... That game was horrid :titan:

I had this game for the Apple IIC system around 1984.

Effing Snake was always thwarting my 6 year old mind. The image is definately a spoiler.

Whenever there is more than four lines of text, my game freezes. DOSBox will still run but the game won't. For instance when I type inventory, four items are displayed but I can no longer play. Also the chasm with the cabin on the other side and the snake has more than four lines of text... I think I need to cross the chasm because I've explored every other part of the desert...
I've tried every single key and mouse clicking...any ideas?
