The plot of the game Magician takes the player back to ancient times, when there was magic and wizards on earth. The game's protagonist, named Paul, studies magic and goes on a journey to learn magical secrets from other magicians. At this time, the evil wizard, Abadon, uses a spell to create evil beast-like creatures that must destroy all wizards. As a result, Paul is left as the only mage who must confront the villain.
While Magician is presented by the developer as a role-playing game, it lacks almost all of the attributes of the genre. The game has no level of freedom of action, no extra quests or mini-games, and no experience level. The character has a scale of health, food and water, which must be replenished periodically in order not to die. Magician has a unique system of learning spells. To learn a spell the player must decipher it and form magic words. Each word in the different spells must be written down in order to learn. By helping the characters in the game, the protagonist can accumulate mana and become more proficient.
All in all, the game "Wizard" for NES is quite an interesting project, it is not usual and at the same time has a classic gameplay, so it is recommended for all fans of this genre.
