Just uploaded 4K gameplay footage for Wizards and Warriors. Rare's second NES game after Slalom, during early development it was called "The Tale". Awesome game design considering it was released in '87. The walls of caves are reminiscent of Solar Jetman. youtu.be/zflLEeJ_iBk

1987 really puts the design in perspective. A lot of the vocabulary for console adventure games was still being established, so games from that period can feel like designers actively discovering what the hardware and genres are capable of. One of my favorite NES games back then was W&W.

NES Wizards and Warriors was originally titled 'The Tale'. I took this screengrab from an early build of the game from Paul Proctor's original development disk which I was preserving.
