The game

Roklan's 1981 Atari 800 Wizard of Wor, rebuilt for four players at the same time. Yellow, blue, green and purple worriors hunt the Burwors, Garwors and Thorwors, then the Worluk and the Wizard himself — and each other: shooting another worrior is worth 1,000 points. Yellow and blue start in their cages; green and purple wait in the top corners and come in when they push the stick. Out of worriors while others play on? "FIRE" blinks in your spot: press fire to jump back in with a fresh set (your score starts again at 0; your best run counts).

How the arcade works

Everyone here sees the same game. The arcade runs a real Atari 800, and your browser runs an identical copy in step with it — so there's no video stream, just the four joysticks. The first four people in get the seats; everyone else watches and can get in line. When a seat opens, the next in line gets 10 seconds to take it. Every game is a 4-player game: an empty seat's player is in it too, and whoever takes the seat takes that player over on the spot.
