Wizkid not Whizz Kid
Wizkid not Whizz Kid
There is an archive entry for Whizz Kid by Ocean. The correct title is Wizkid.
Re: Wizkid not Whizz Kid
The Whizz Kid spelling seems to come from a magazine article which misspelled the title. "Whizz Kid" should perhaps be listed as an AKA.
Re: Wizkid not Whizz Kid
I've added the fix to the spreadsheet, have you got a link to the magazine article?
Re: Wizkid not Whizz Kid
BTW it's this title (not the other Whizz Kid in the archive):
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=12486
The magazine reference is already listed in the entry:
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/mag.php ... 88&page=11
It's on the bottom right of the page and actually uses the spelling Whizz-Kid (with a hyphen).
The spelling is definitely wrong. The game was released for the C64 as Wizkid, and it's the sequel to Wizball.

Wizkid is the sequel to Wizball:

I made a mistake: it was not released on the C64, but the Amiga.
