In this month's GamesTM magazine (no.42) the original Speccy Chaos got
voted the 44th greatest retro game of all time by its readers.

The description that the magazine gave Chaos - "A turn-based wizard
adventure for the Spectrum. Chaos was written by Julian Gollop who
later became famous for the X-Com series. Chaos sees up to eight
wizards fighting it out, summoning creatures and wiping out fellow
magicians. In the turn-based adventure, wizards can be controlled by
humans or the computer, and each has a three-phased attack: the
selection of spells, the casting of magic and the use of combat. The
game was nothing special to look at, but the action was completely
addictive."

The screen shot caption - "Ugly game, great game play. Don't judge a
book by its cover".
