Wizkid - The Weirdest Game on the Amiga? | Sharka's QuickBytes #34
7In Sharka's QuickBytes, I'll be taking a bite-sized (byte-sized?) look at retro games, usually several per video when I'm covering a particular series or theme. There'll be more editing and shorter and more scripted commentary in QuickBytes than in the laid-back Nostalgic Nibbles and MEGABytes series', and most vids won't be longer than ten minutes - perfect for a quick blast of Sharka-themed retro goodness.
#AMayga rolls on, and this time I've got something with a healthy dollop of the surreal about it: Sensible Software and Ocean's Wizkid - the sequel to 8-bit fan favourite Wizball. Seriously, don't go anywhere near the 16-bit ports, they're a bit rubbish. Wizkid, however, feels perfectly home here on the #Amiga and is a game you should absolutely try at least once.
