Name: Wardner
Author/Vendor: Mentrix
Released: 1991
Type: Platform
Language: English and Japanese
Premise: You and your sister are traipsing along merrily through the forest when - boo! The evil meanie Wardner shows up and kidnaps your sister. Now it's up to you to save her. A perfect conversion of the original arcade game with new items added on every stage - hence the "special" label.
Impressions: Gameplay is only average, and jumping across the many hazards to be found is quite tricky and can get on your nerves easily. That's the point, though - as a perfect arcade conversion, it show the same limitations as the original, with no improvements as far as gameplay is concerned. Check it out if you liked the original, otherwise play Ghouls and Ghosts instead. (Baalim)
Variations: Wardner Special (Japanese release)
The original was known as Pyros in American arcades.
