'The Wizard of Oz' seems an unlikely title to try to adapt into the video game world - especially so many years after the movie was made - but that didn't stop the SETA Corporation from giving it a try. They released their effort onto the Super Nintendo console in 1993. To say it has a few major differences with the movie it's based on would be putting it mildly.
The general plot of the game is that the Wicked Witch is trying to steal Dorothy's shoes, and Dorothy just wants to get home to Kansas. She's also stolen Toto. So far, so good. So, Dorothy sets off to find the Wizard of Oz to help her, and that's where things get a little weird. In Dorothy's way are a series of cactus cats, vultures, and other assorted critters which Dorothy can dispatch by kicking, punching, or zapping with her magic wand. Where Dorothy got her magical powers and ninja skills from is never adequately explained.
