About Cave of the Word Wizard
This edutainment game for the Commodore 64 required players to spell specific words in order to progress through the titular Wizard's cave. Successfully spelling words gives the player name-brand adhesive bandages useful for treating snake bites and scorpion stings. Failing to spell words correctly causes the wizard to drain energy from your flashlight. The game ends when you run out of bandages, run out of light, or if you can successfully collect all four crystals and escape the cave. The game impressively relied on the Commodore 64's ability to produce recorded voice clips. Whether it did so successfully is a matter of debate.
