What happens when some genius Hollywood exec decides to take the story of 'Rain Man' and apply it to video games? Ah, The Wizard. It's just so bad. And we don't mean that as an 80's style slang term for 'good'.

Up until now, it's only been available on crusty VHS tapes in the damp, smelly backs of Goodwill stores. But come August 22, 2006, it'll be unleashed on DVD. Let's just pray for a Fred Savage commentary track. "Ha, this right here is about the time I first got to third base with Jenny Lewis! Ah! Memories!"

Amazon.com's offering a pre-order for $11.19. It's probably not worth even that, but rounding down for inflation, that's practically free. Florian Eckhardt
