''Wiz'n' Liz'', aka ''Wiz 'n' Liz: The Frantic Wabbit Wescue'' is a very strange action-platformer created by {{Creator/Psygnosis}} for the {{UsefulNotes/Amiga}} and UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis in 1993. The game takes place on the planet Pumpernickels, a fantastical realm inhabited by the rabbits. One day though a mysterious spell teleports all the world's wabbits away! It is now up to either Wiz the wizard or Liz the witch to go through Pum's 8 bizarre locations to save the wabbits and beat the monsters behind their kidnapping.

In each stage you are on a strict time limit to collect the wabbits located there, each time you save one a floating letter appears that you must then grab. Each letter you collect forms a whimsical magic word you need to complete, once the word is complete you then need to get ALL the wabbits in the level whilst also collecting fruit, stars, and clocks. Stars give you points, clocks give you more time, and fruits can be used in-between stages to create spells in Wiz and Liz's big magic cauldron. The combination of fruits will determine the spell, the effects of each spell vary wildly from giving you more time, unlocking a bonus game, changing the colors of the wabbits, and various other random craziness.

Perhaps what the game is most well known for is it's bosses, which interestingly enough are the ONLY enemies in the game. After beating a set of levels you then challenge one of many huge and incredibly creepy looking monsters whom you steadily destroy piece by piece.
