Swords & Serpents is a dungeon crawler developed by Imagic for the Intellivision in 1983. With gameplay similar to Gauntlet, one or two players (as the Warrior Prince and Nilrem the Wizard respectively) set off to collect treasures as well as learn about the secrets of the Fortress of the Sinister Serpent, and locate its lair. Due to a lack of free ROM space however, a final boss fight against the Dragon was never programmed, and as such, the game is considered complete by finding an easter egg with the programmer's initials.
In this run, Twisted_Eye chooses to play in the game's third mode, "2 Player Magic", which allows for the Wizard to be controlled and use all of his spells from the start. He then achieves the end goal in record time with liberal use of the Wizard's "Fast Feet" spell to make the Warrior Prince move much faster and the Wizard's unintended ability to clip through walls.
