Game Wizard

The Game Wizard was a "Game Enhancer" for Sega Genesis that was created by Innovation. It was similar to the Pro Action Replay. Up to four codes could be used at once. Unlike the Game Genie, this device is not endorsed by Sega. Also, unlike the SNES Game Wizard, there is no second cartridge port for accessory cartridges.

A special start up process was required, probably to bypass the region/CRC checks in most games. First, the switch must be in the middle, then the console powered on, then the switch moved up and reset must be pressed. Unlike the PAR the switch must be set to down for codes to be active.
