Chaos - Battle of the Wizards
by Sean A. Irvine

This game is a clone of Julian Gollop's ZX Spectrum game with the same
name but with several minor differences. The style of the game closely
matches that of the original, with small 16 by 16 pixel animated graphics.
Many more spells than the original are supported.
For those unfamiliar with the original game, here's the gist:
You control a wizard (or several if you like). Other people or the computer
can control other wizards. A total of eight wizards can play at once +
independent creatures (a new feature). The wizard has a number of spells at
his/her disposal, these spells are for a variety of things ranging from
weapons for the wizard, various creatures, to gooey blobs. Each wizard
casts a spell in turn then moves their pieces. The winner is the last
wizard left alive. Experienced players can drag a game out for several
hours, or finish a game in under an hour.
The program runs on a vanilla A500 but is a little slow and requires
Workbench 1.3 or better. It have also tested it on an A2500 and an A4000
without any problems. You will need Nico Francois' reqtools.library
(many of you will already have this). For those that don't you can get
it from aminet. Installation information is included in the instructions.
The program is system friendly, harddisk installable, has an extensive
instruction book detailing spells (also available online during the game),
and is mouse driven.
