one of the first examples of open-world video games, in which one can explore a very large map that represents an authentic world in its own right.

The game follows the story of the Drasle family (short for Dragon Slayer) and the latter's attempt to destroy an ancient dragon named Keela who is magically trapped in a painting found in an underground labyrinth. To achieve their goal, family members and their pet must find the Dragon Slayer, magic sword which is protected by four secret crowns.
The player must use the abilities of individual family members to regain possession of the crowns and destroy the evil Keela. The caves to explore are filled with traps, pitfalls, puzzles and monsters, all of which are designed to conceal the hidden crowns. Each family member in Legacy of the Wizard has, in addition to strengths, also weaknesses, which requires you to choose well which character to use on various occasions.
