Thanks to everyone for their suggestions (my personal favorite is Champions of Wor), but the game will be called "Wizard of Wor".

Why are we playing?

"Don't WORry"

How about just "WOW", which stands for "Wizard of WOW" (i.e., Wizard of (Wizard of (Wizard of...))).

WOW is for all eternity hardwired as "World of Wonders" in my brain, thanks to the legendary Amiga cracking group
(And the kiddies will mix it up with World of Warcraft... )

Any updates on this one? This would have been a fine port but I guess Champ Games is down for the count?

Hi there,

Unfortunately no updates - haven't done much Atari programming for a while - hard to believe it's been over 4 years since I started WoW Arcade! I hope to get back to it someday - thanks for the interest!

This looks absolutely amazing. I love the arcade version, and the 2600 version was a good port... but it could have been better. I can't wait for this

Oh man I love Champ Games. I still play their old DOS classics via DOSbox. Not to mention their great 2600 games like Ladybug and Caverns of Mars
I remember he was working on a hockey game for the 2600, I guess that never saw the light of day but from the bit I saw of it, it would have been amazing.

Avalanche for the 2600 by johnnywc is also pretty good (and done in only 1 week IIRC)!

Thanks! Glad to hear you are still playing some of the old CHAMP games in DOS - CHAMP Kong! Funny you should mention Hockey (aka RealSports Hockey / Championship Hockey) - I was thinking about it the other day ... maybe I'll start that one back up now that my Bruins won the Stanley Cup!

LOL almost forgot about Avalanche - and yes I spent about a week on it. Maybe some day I will polish it up and officially release it in the AA store.

Thanks! I don't think I'll be starting it back up any time soon but if I do I'll be sure to post any updates in this thread!
