Wizard was developed for the Atari 2600 in 1980. It was released in 2005. That’s a long time, but it’s nice that there are still games coming out for the 2600, especially for people who never upgraded. It’s a lifetime of entertainment!
Actually, Wizard was released on the Atari Flashback 2, so you can’t just buy a cartridge and cram it into your old system. Oh well.
The game itself is pretty neat. You’re a little guy (presumably a wizard?) in a big maze. There are enemies, but if they’re behind walls, you can’t see them. It’s tense!
You can read about the development of the game in Chris Crawford on Game Design. You can play the game here.
I could only find one video of the game online, and it’s annoying, but if you want to see the game in action, but you don’t want to control it, I guess this is your only option:
