Developed by Realtime Associates and published by Acclaim, Warlock arrived on the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive as a platformer. It blends platformer and adventure elements.
Realtime Associates also made Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Barney's Hide & Seek Game and The Berenstain Bears' Camping Adventure for the Genesis.
This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.
Pick it if…
- you want to run, jump and explore
- you have time for an evening or two (roughly 1–6 hours to see it through)
- you've played the Genesis hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you get frustrated by precise jumps and limited lives
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Warlock is like
Platformers are all about movement: running, jumping and timing your way across levels full of gaps, enemies and secrets. The best ones feel great to control within seconds and then slowly teach you to master every leap.
Tip for newcomers: Retro platformers often have limited lives and few checkpoints. Learn one level at a time, look for hidden 1-ups, and don't be shy about using a save feature when it is available.
