The Wizard of Id's WizType
DOSEducational1984
The Wizard of Id's WizType is a DOS typing tutor built around the characters and medieval comic setting of The Wizard of Id. Its primary purpose is keyboard practice rather than adventure, action, or simulation: players type displayed material while the program monitors accuracy and speed. The licensed presentation gives the exercises a light cartoon context, but available reference information does not establish a detailed story campaign or a conventional arcade-style objective. The developer, publisher, and verified release date are not identified here because reliable platform-specific documentation is insufficient. As an educational typing title, WizType is best understood as a period keyboard-training product whose historical interest comes from combining structured typing practice with a recognizable newspaper-comic license. Reception details are also not consistently documented in reliable sources.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
