Magician
Magician is an action-platformer published by Taxan for the NES. You play as a wizard, fighting enemies with magic spells and navigating through levels. The gameplay involves platforming, spell-casting, and puzzle-solving, with a focus on using your magic effectively. A unique feature is the "spell" system – you can learn new spells by collecting scrolls hidden throughout the levels, including fireball, lightning, and teleport. You must also manage your magic points. The levels include forests, caves, castles, and ice worlds, each with unique enemies and obstacles. The game features a password system to save progress. A trivia: the game was developed by Eurocom, who also worked on "Lethal Weapon." The graphics are colorful and detailed, with a fantasy theme that includes wizards, dragons, and goblins. The music is mystical and atmospheric, composed by a team at Taxan. Critics praised the magic system and the level design. It supports one player. The final boss is a dragon that requires precise spell timing. Magician is a fun platformer for fans of magic-themed games.
