I loved the bizarre nature of this game. Some jokes I didn't understand (like the 'chewing-gum' machine in the bathroom, thank god I never tried to replicate that when I was younger) and the giant Kate Bush-looking cat woman. I had no idea how this was a sequel to Wizball, but I loved it.

This is an address of all the Atari ST games you can think of, and definatley more. It gives you the name and a disk number for whatever server it tells you the game is on.....(http://www.geocities.com/bpadinha) Some of these servers are here......(ftp://ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/atari/games)

A really great game, basicly it's a pure arcade concept but including some "adventure" parts. Also certainly the most weird game on ST, even outpassing Monty Pythons Flying Circus on the nonsense side imho! :)

I just found out after having this game in my collection for 7 years that there is a hidden Asteroids game in it called "Wizaroids", and it looks better than any Asteroids ever done on the ST! I swear it looks emulation perfect, I am not kidding at all. I didn't think simulated vector could look this good on an ST. They could have released this as a stand alone game! If you mess around on level one and find the cavern with the doors in it you are halfway there. Awesome! The 92% rating is very well deserved.

This game is much, much better than wizball, which had infuriating and lame joystick control. Wizkid controls like a dream in comparison. Some of the most colorful graphics seen on an ST, and many surprising, bizarre, and just plain gross little secrets are discovered when you least expect it. It gets very wacky, the only other platformish game almost as silly on the ST is probably Monty Python's Flying Circus. There is even a Breakout style theme found throughout much of the game, but a much more interesting and totally unique take on the genre than say, Arkanoid. Lots of huge, colorful sprites are usually bouncing all over the place at a surprising speed. A total trip. Play it right away.

This game is very funny. It can't be compared to Wizball I since it's a completly diffrent type of game.

Wacky followup to the original Wizball. Much better game in my opinion.
