A conversion of the original arcade game, this is a single screen maze shooter, a sort of Pac Man with guns instead of pills. blast the blue, yellow and red beasties then kill the skittish alien before it escapes. every few levels a titular wizard will appear and needs the same laser enema as the rest.

As far as I can tell, this is an in house Commodore project and no coder is credited, which is probably for the best as this is a very lacklustre attempt at the original arcade game. It's functional with standard arcade sound effects but plays sluggishly. A mediocre conversion of a very mediocre game.
