The Wizard of Oz

About

You take control of Dorothy and her companions in this 1993 SNES platformer inspired by the classic film. Each character has their own section of the Yellow Brick Road to cross, featuring side-scrolling levels filled with enemies, traps, and puzzles. Collect items to progress while avoiding hazards like flying monkeys and cacti. The game splits into four distinct paths depending on who you play as, with Dorothy’s segment focusing on exploration and item gathering. The game’s split structure lets you tackle each character’s journey separately, though reviews often highlight its repetitive enemies and limited variety. Despite mixed reception, hovering around a 60% on Metacritic, it remains a nostalgic pick for SNES fans. Released in the same year as the film’s 50th anniversary, it’s a straightforward platformer with simple mechanics and a focus on quick reflexes. Single player only.
