Did you grow up in the '80s or '90s playing video games? If so, you likely played a game called Wizards & Warriors. Released almost 40 years ago in 1987 Wizards & Warriors was a video game that spawned 3 sequels, an animated series, an LCD handheld game, a Scholastic Book, and a few imitators. Even after all that it isn't a game that's talked about much in today's modern gaming landscape. Unless you own a physical copy and the hardware to play it, emulation is the only way gamers today can play this game. Wizards & Warriors could very well end up one of those video games that's forgotten to entire generations of gamers. Not if Daniel Godfrey has anything to do with it. Daniel is not only the frontman of the grunge band I Am The Icarus, the preeminent Great Value brand Nirvana, but also a lifelong gamer. This book is the story of his life with video games as well as a love letter to one of his favorite video games of all time, Wizards & Warriors. Aside from all the great screenshots and photos from Wizards & Warriors and some of Daniel's other favorite games, there's an included Player's Guide for the game, along with the entire instruction manual and box art from not only Wizards & Warriors but also its sequels. Take a trip down memory lane to a time before microtransactions and DLC, before required internet connections and day 1 patches. Return to a time when small teams of developers made rad video games just for the sake of making rad video games. Back to a time when buying a new game meant heading down to the store, plopping down some cash, taking the game home to rip off the plastic and slap that cartridge in your console. The time of Kuros and Wizards & Warriors.
