Yet it never came out. The VICs short life is probably one reason, but the VIC also has only one joystick port and no hardware sprites, so this would have been challenging.
Yep, it's on the back of my VIC 20's box:
The C64 got Wizard of Wor early in its life, in 1983, which may have been what happened.
The 64 version was one of the few games that supported Commodore's Magic Voice Speech Module.
