DESCRIPTION
The Mighty Magus is a scrolling platform game.
INSTRUCTIONS
you have to get a wizard down through around thirty levels of
dungeon, kill the dragon and back to the top again. There where
an increasing number of monsters to fight on the way down and
chests/rubbish piles to search for spellpower, life energy and
magic items. Traps in the floor did various nasty things and
have to be watched for carefully. The dungeon was automatically
generated each time the game was played, only to top and bottom
layers stayed the same.
The number keys cast the spells (higher the number, more powerful
the spell), and that spells make walls temporarily passable.
CHEATS
When killing the dragon stand on the stairs to the left of its
range and kill it with spells, neither the dragon nor its fire
will reach you.
SCORES RECEIVED
The game got good reviews in some magazines but was badly let
down by flickery graphics (not mine I might add, the dungeon
structure and display was mine, the monsters and the wizard was
Ians. Quicksilva's distributer went bust as the game was released
and it took them a while to get a new one, this didn't help us
much! Software projects were also interested but we chose
Quicksilva, c'est la vie.
