Wizard
Description official descriptions
Wizard is a puzzle game with arcade action elements. The premise of the game is to run around the screen collecting various treasures for points, avoiding monsters. The player character must find the key, which gives him the ability to cast magic spells such as fireballs or teleportation, and also unlocks the exit to the next level. Each level takes up the full screen and has its own unique hazards, such as arrows which transport the protagonist quickly, and blocks which are removed when stepped on. The game features six difficulty and nine speed settings. A level designer is included.

Building your own levels was great
The Good
This game has been hard to find and I am so happy to stumble across it here. In my early-80’s word this was another Lode Runner-similar game and I spent hours designing my own levels as well.
The Bad
In all honesty, I do recall some issues with the copy protection they built in.
The Bottom Line
Lode Runner with Wizards.

Trivia
The game's copy protection was programmed to attempt to format the disk if it was found to be a pirated copy. Unfortunately, it was confused by some third party disk drives, such as MSD's, causing it to wipe some perfectly valid disks.
