With all of these somewhat off-kilter reimaginings, it almost feels like Emerald City Confidential, Wadjet Eye’s detective noir take on the world of Oz, is the least crazy of the bunch. From a video game perspective, there’s an early text adventure for various home computers, a bog standard side-scrolling platformer for the SNES, a Japanese fantasy RPG for the DS ( RIZ-ZOAWD, known as The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road in America), and a Castlevania-ish hack-and-slasher for the PlayStation 2 ( OZ, known as The Sword of Etheria in Europe). Beyond the world famous 1939 film, there have been numerous adaptations to stage plays, cartoons and television series.
The Wizard of Oz has been a gold mine for alternate interpretations.
