Wizard's Lair or Atic Atac?Ok, not my idea! Got the idea from Frobush on the 'Jet Pac or Lunar Jet Man' thread! As far as I'm concerned, there's no contest - Atic Atac wins ha…
I like both of them equally as much.
Wizard's Lair is, in my humblest of opinions, a great "non-related sequel" to Atic Atac.
I would choose "BOTH" if the poll allowed it. -

I don't remember much about Wizard's Lair, so I'll give it a try again. I did play it all those years ago, but I can't remember much about it.
It'll have to be very good to shake my love for Atic Atac, though. -

Voted Atic Atac but Wizard's Lair is a great game.
Stephen Crow games are generally excellent especially Starquake, I love the presentation and music/sound fx.
Agree with Matt_B that Starquake V Underwurlde might be interesting. -

Atic Atac. Another case of the original being the best. Wizard's Lair is a fine game too of course. I like the addition of level codes. -
