Games by Wizard--a question.

[Scot from S.C.]

I was wondering if the company Wizard only made two carts for the 2600, or for that matter, any Atari system? The games that I am referring to are Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Thanks.

Yes they only made the two games. A third game called Flesh Gordon (based off the soft core porn movie) was planned, but I don't think that ever got started. A prototype of that would be nice though...

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping that they had some other neat games out there. I guess I will have to wait for Sniderman's game to come out to add to my collection of horror type games.

I workin' on it! I'm workin' on it!

It was never shown at CES.

Hey Sniderman, I just ordered your Blair Witch game last week. I hope it comes today so I can give it a spin. Let me know when you get done with Ravenous Dead. I am ready for it. I need to learn how to program like you guys. I would love to make a couple of games based on Salem's Lot and Children of the Corn. Anyway, have a good one and keep me informed of your progress.

wizard did come out with another title but it was for the atari 400/800 and it was on a disc! can't remember exactly the title name but something like hollywood trivia or movie trivia something like that...

 

@snider-man, looking forward to playing your new game! LOVE horror games!!

 

Take Care,

BTW, John Harris (Jawbreaker) was going to do Flesh Gordon on contract but the deal fell through.

[Tempest]

Did he have a game design worked up yet? I'm kind of curious as to what the game would have looked like.

I seem to recall seeing ads for Flesh Gordon.... I believe in Fangoria magazine back in the early eighties. The ad from what I remember was the Flesh Gordon movie poster graphics I cant remember what else as far as text . It seems odd they would bother putting out an ad if there was nothing done on the game at all.... don't you think???

 

They at least had to have someone in a marketing department working on it.

 

Man that would be a great find.

Enclosed is a link to one of their ads on Tommorow Heroes, Tom Zabas sight.

Yup.... Thats the ad I remember seeing.

 

Hmmmm re-reading it now.... It sounds an awful lot like the 20th Century Fox game... Flash Gordon.... Doesn't it???

[CrazyImpmon]

Well, what did you expect? Flesh Gordon is a parody of Flash, and for all we know, Flesh Gordon game could have been a hack of Flash Gordon.

 

Anyone care to try and hack the Flash Gordon for this?
