Treasures of Oz is a previously unreleased educational Oz video game that was being made for the Phillips CD-i. It is unknown why it was canceled after some development between 1995-1996 by a company called Funhouse, but eventually completed nearly two decades later exclusively for the CD-i system and released by World of Games Publishing on May 14, 2023 and is purchasable from their site and eBay. On January 11th 2025, a download was uploaded to the Internet Archive for use with computer emulators.
Based on a list, FunHouse only released three of the less than 200 games made for the system.
Not much was known about it aside from screenshots which imply it was to feature narration from Diana Ross who had previously played Dorothy in the film version of The Wiz until the date the game was officially released.
