I have played hundreds of games, but I can never say that to at least one of them. It is amazing for me to see you saying it for so many.

I kind of agree, the game isn't complete nonsense but the controls suck.
I have both Magic Carpet 1 and 2 but I have never played either one of them past the first level because of that inverted mouse aiming.

AFAIK there's no way to change that. And in MC1 you can't even configure the keyboard controls (except by using DOSBox keymapper).

BTW, Taewoong's custom DOSBox build has the option to invert the mouse y-axis. Now I can play this game.

i remember what PC-Format said about this game:

"it's like buying a Ferrari, and crashing it into a wall a few weeks later..."

they meant the short and few levels.
now we can all see if they were right.

i love to see this game back, thank you very much!!! it is a true gem.

This is one of those classic Bullfrog games, which we haven't seen the like of since.

A piece of gaming history right here!

I tend to get stuck after a dozen levels - an genie type of enemy appears that follows you like a dog and drains your mana.

Did I run into a bug of a specific version, or is there something special you need to do to kill these guys? Without mana no spells, without spells there is no killing them :s

Eugene this is a site for people who like old games, you don't like this game. So leave it alone, you don't see the rest of us saying how much we hate a game in its thread.

If you don't like the game because you do not understand what to do, maybe read some of the posts in the thread, other posters are already talking about the best ways to play the game.

If you don't like the game cause of the graphics, well thats your choice, just say you don't like the graphics not that the game sucks and move on to a game you do like.
