The Story Behind Warlock
Using sorcery inherited from his ancestors, a modern druid must travel through time to prevent the Warlock from finding all of the runestones. When assembled, the runestones give the possessor ultimate power to undo the Earth's creation. It was released on May 26, 1995 through Acclaim Entertainment for the Genesis and Super NES platforms.
When this happens, the Evil One sends his only son, the Warlock, to Earth to gather six ancient runestones. Warlock (also stylized Beware the Ultimate Evil of Warlock) is a side-scrolling action video game based on the 1989 horror film series of the same title. Once every thousand years, the sun and the moon align together.

Next Generation reviewed the SNES version of the game, rating it two stars out of five, and stated that "There's nothing wrong, just nothing notable." Captain Squideo of GamePro gave the Genesis version a negative review, remarking that the game is highly derivative of other platform shooters, and that it suffers from delayed controls, overly small enemies, and a lack of variety in the gameplay.
