I have an emulator somewhere in my archive, specificlly to play this classic! 
Twenty years ago, in my teens, a group of us used to play this to death after playing football... It often turned into a game of "spot the cheater," as it was down to trust on whether everyone else was looking away whilst you chose your spell and whether it was an illusion.

Its an awesome game, my favourite spectrum game. Of all the spells Gooey Blob was easily the most fun.
Oh god yeah i remember this!... i remember once i cast a REAL golden dragon ( needless to say i won the game ). Hahahah i remember how we had to turn round so you couldnt see if someone was casting an illusion or not 
I remember someone did a remake on the atari ST using sounds from films like evil dead and highlander for the sounds awesome!
Im sure the original was just called "Chaos" and was done by games workshop.

Wasnt this on a YS cover tape? Swear I had it and loved it - didnt it have undead that were difficult to kill and you could conjure flying horses to ride etc...

Never played this first time around and it must be said without the garish neon coloured graphics, it doesn't really like a Speccy game.
Now that was good. Laser Squad with beards!
Never played Chaos but Lord of Chaos was amazing.

Heheh, yeah that caused a lot of, erm, chaos. Do you remember the Turmoil spell though? Took forever to cast on a busy screen

Ah what a brilliant find! Nice one!
I used to absolutely love this, played it loads as a kid along with "The Hobbit" text adventure. Anyone else remember it? I could never get Thorin to stay in the sodding barrel...

Shame they changed it, should've kept the original sounds and spacing between wizards. Lightning bolting people in the 4 and 5 positions and killing them 1st turn was always fun.
Here's the proper flash version
