Enchanted Scepters is a point-and-click adventure game released in 1984 for Macintosh.[1] The player must find the four fire, earth, air and water scepters hidden across the Kingdom, and return them to the Wizard. The gameplay is much like a text adventure game. The screen shows a picture of the room the player is currently in and to the right is a description. The description mentions any items that can be used or picked up by the player. The pictures change as the player moves to a new scene. There is no movement in the picture, but enemies are inserted when encountered, accompanied by sound effects. The player can then select from a drop down menu whether to flee, and which way (north, south, east or west and occasionally up or down), or to fight, with a choice of weapon.

Enchanted Scepters was created with the World Builder adventure authoring system which was later released to consumers in 1986.[citation needed]
