If you don't know what it is, stop reading.
Once upon a time, when we played with our beloved Spectrum on a TV, games came in tapes...

It is difficult to understand what Chaos - tBoW is o how it works or even how can exist screenshots like these.

Chaos represents a battle between two o more mages. Each mage has a few spells assigned at random at the start of the game. The most powerful spells have less probabilities of success. There are also summonings, that can be a fake (illusion) or not. If they are, they can be disbelieved. If they aren't, hope they are on your side: a 20x20 pixel golden dragon is as mighty as it sounds.

Chaos is turn-based strategy game with retro graphics, retro sounds and retro spirit. Free, no ads. I like the idea of recovering those old games for our new android devices. Who would have thought that games as Chaos would be played...on a phone! However, just a homage to the original.

So, we can not recommend downloading, but I strongly thank the developer instead. Thank you...ever after.

Developer's original description available here
Chaos is a turn-based, tactical game. The aim of the game is to defeat all the other wizards by using magical spells and summoning creatures. Illusions are easy to cast, but can be just as easily disbelieved. A real Golden Dragon is a fearsome ally. Based on the 1985 ZX Spectrum game by Julian Gollop. Advert free.

If the game fails to run on your phone, please send me an email and we'll try and work out what the problem is.

Recently changed in this version:

* Make volume buttons change the in-game sound effects, not the ringer volume
* Remove the superflous numbers on the selection menu

    An excellent and faithful reproduction of the classic ZX Spectrum game. Works perfectly on Nexus 10. The subtle enhancement of detail on the character models is excellent whilst still remaining true to the original. A triumph!

    Part of the fun back in the day of home computing was that you worked out things for yourself, there wasn't always manuals or the internet you just did it, gamers nowjust want people to hold thier hand, no wonder games are dumbed down now. Anyway this is

    great remake, pretty much the same as the spectrum original, but slightly improved graphics. Loses a star because the controls can be a bit fiddly, with the touchscreen, but not really the fault of the game.
