The WIZ
Magic Electronics, Cranston,
Rhode Island, introduces The Wiz,
whose hero is a wizard dressed as
Merlin the Magician would have been.
The Wiz is set in a mystical adven-
tureland where the wizard finds him-
self fighting gremlins. He must searc.h
for treasure chests to increase his
magical powers.
Wielding a magical staff, he en-
counters enemies, snails, flying
animals, and skeletons, and kills them
by hitting or shooting.
.
Ever searching for the elusive
dragon, the wizard jumps over or f~lls
into crators, and another phase begms
in an ice encrusted cavern. He must
avoid barriers and enemies or may be
rescued by a balloon and lifted into yet
another phase.
The Wiz begins with a learning
phase and progresses to more intri-
guing locations. It introduces over 1.00
new characters. Magic Electromcs
gives the operator a complete conver-
sion kit containing a dedicated board
that will convert any vertical raster-
scan monitor, a harness, four-way joy-
stick, header, monitor plexis, overlay,
and buttons.
