WizardWorks Group, Inc. operated as a video game developer and publisher headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States. Established in 1980, the company broadened its scope in 1993 by introducing two subdivisions: CompuWorks and MacSoft. In 1996, WizardWorks was purchased by GT Interactive, subsequently joining their GT Value Products brand, which was eventually phased out. Following several corporate transformations, GT Interactive transitioned into Atari. On March 29, 2004, Atari decided to shut down WizardWorks, merging its outstanding projects into Atari's publishing division located in Beverly, Massachusetts.
