From Atarimania: Since Wizard was never advertised in any Atari catalogs and it was never assigned a part number, most people don't even know of its existence. Unfortunately by the time Wizard was ready to be released (1980), Atari was starting to make 4K games with better sounds and graphics than their 2K predecessors. According to programmer Chris Crawford: 'It didn't fit well into the product line'. Wizard was simply too dated to be released as is, but probably could have been made into a decent 4K game had Atari wanted to take the time to retool it.
