Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Hunts For His Kidnapped Wife In New iOS Game


If you’ve ever dreamed of controlling Apple’s co-founder Steve Wozniak in a violent video game that has you collecting weapons to kill men that have kidnapped Wozniak’s wife, all with help from action movie star Danny Trejo, you’re surprisingly lucky.

The game, Vengeance: Woz with a Coz, is being developed by ITN Flix and React Games and has an expected release window of Thanksgiving, The game stars the man that originally founded Apple with Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak. The game features an 8 bit style and has Woz and Trejo teaming up and searching for Woz’s kidnapped wife.


There doesn’t seem to be any specific reason Wozniak was chosen to star as one of the game’s heroes. Wozniak left Apple in 1987 and has since had various other tech jobs such as his current one as chief scientist at data company Fusion-io. Wozniak may have been chosen for the game due to his personal and happy personality that makes him both admired by fans and a funny choice for a violent hero. Although Wozniak hasn’t worked at Apple for 25 years, he still waits in line at the launch of every major Apple product so that he can buy the product while meeting and talking to fans in line.

The game is being released as part of a promotion for Danny Trejo’s upcoming movie Vengeance.
