Chaos Remakes Wiki is an encyclopedia about remakes of the classic ZX Spectrum game, Chaos: The Battle of Wizards.
Chaos was released 1985, written by Julian Gollop and published by Games Workshop. It is a turn-based strategy game for up to eight players, in which wizards summon creatures to battle each other. Receiving moderate critical success on its release, it wasn't until Your Sinclair championed the game that it became a classic. It appeared twice as a YS cover game. In their final issue it charted at number 5 in the Your Sinclair Readers' Top 100 Games Of All Time[1] and the staff held a Grand Chaos Play-Off.[2]
Since then Chaos has been one of the most popular subjects for modern homebrew Spectrum remakes.[3] This wiki is an attempt to archive and discuss them all.
