This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. |
During development, Wizards & Warriors was called "The Tale". Similarly, the Japanese version's name was "The Tale: Elrond no Eiyuu".
There are prototypes of both versions, however, only the Japanese version has been dumped.

The prototype has a wizard on the right side of the attraction screen. The final game replaces him with a duplicate of the knight on the left, likely due to there not being enough graphics space to fit him in alongside the more elaborate Wizards & Warriors logo. While no tiles remain of him in the final game, the palette for his cloak is still loaded in on this screen.
