Release Date RRP Code

Wardner, called Wardner no Mori in Japan and Pyros in its initial US release, is a 1987 arcade platformer by Toaplan. Visco ported it to the Sega Mega Drive in 1991, removing Toaplan's name and publishing it in Japan as Wardner no Mori Special (ワードナの森SPECIAL). They would then license it to Mentrix Software for publication in the US as Wardner.

A boy and a girl are wandering about when they get lost in the Forest of Wardner. Suddenly, a green spectre comes and kidnaps the girl, leaving the boy to find her. A and C jump. Jumping on vines will automatically latch you onto them to climb. Down crouches; you can jump while crouch and will need to do so to collect treasure. B shoots fire to destroy enemies with. You lose a life with one hit.
