Warrior, released in 1983, is an iconic MSX game by ASCII. It is set in a fantasy world where the player takes the role of the eponymous warrior. The goal is to find and retrieve the "Mystic Sword of Romero" from The Sorcerer who holds it, and to bring peace to the kingdom.

The gameplay of Warrior is quite intuitive, using one joystick to move your character and the other to select menu options. The game has several interesting enemies to encounter, such as skeletons, wizards, and dragons. Your character is equipped with weapons such as bats, spears, and swords to fight off these enemies. As you travel through the various levels in the game, you can collect strength and magical power-ups, such as potions and spell scrolls, to help you in your quest.

The game also features some unique puzzles to solve. As you progress through each level, you must often solve some logic puzzles to progress. For example, in certain levels you may need to collect special items to open doors or find a way to cross an otherwise impassable gap.

A defining feature of Warrior is its compelling narrative. As you progress through the game, you will uncover more story and find out the truth about The Sorcerer. You will also come across helpful NPCs, who can offer information and advice on how best to proceed in your quest.

Warrior features some stunning 8-bit graphic art and great sound effects. The visuals have aged remarkably well and the music still has the same haunting tone it had when it was first released.

In conclusion, Warrior is a great MSX game which offers plenty of challenge and an engrossing story. It is a timeless classic and deserves to be included in any MSX collection.
