While they don't pretend to recreate any type of reality, they're stylised in such a way as to give the feel of a fairy tale book. The locations are some of the most visually attractive I've seen on an Amiga. This not only saves time, but also stops any element of boredom that might creep in from travelling through the same locations. If you click on any location that the auto- mapper has mapped, then you're automatically sent there. Like many of the more modern titles STS features an auto-mapper, so you don't have to waste valuable time, pencil lead and elbow grease on drawing on graph paper.Īpart from its time- saving element, the map in Simon has another quite unique facility. One of the handiest features in Simon the Sorcerer is the way the game handles mapping. Most of the other commands that you can carry out operate in this manner and in the majority of cases you are only having to click on the action and the character or object you wish to interact with.ĭuring play if you've chosen to talk to one of the characters and their answer requires a reply, then you are given a list of replies or questions to click onto. For example, if you wish to use Simon to communicate with someone, you simply click on the 'talk to' option and then point your mouse over the person with which you wish to speak. Everything else you require Simon to do is controlled from the command list. Moving your apprentice wizard is just a simple case of clicking on the display area with your mouse. The graphic window allows you to see Simon (It's quite good being able to refer to the game as Simon, because I could be beaming subliminal messages about myself to you), control his movements, communicate and interact with other characters and look for other objects.

The screen comprises of a graphic window, itinerary list and a command list. That's all the plot that you're given, and if I reveal any more of the story that unfolds around you it might give away some secrets and kill the atmosphere.īeing a point-and-click style romp, Simon the Sorcerer's gameplay is fairly simple to master. Calypso is the Grand High Wizard of Fleur Deli, and has selected Simon from hundreds of other punters to rescue him from the hands of the evil wizard Sordid. Simon's frolics begin when he receives a letter from his mate, Calypso. The plot begins and the metaphorical cornflour thickens the gravy, when Simon, the central character, is thrust into a world of spells, magic and confusion. This isn't to say that they haven't any depth to them or that your mind drifts while playing, it's just they never attempt to be anything more than fun. It will no doubt be compared to that Amiga benchmark adventure, Monkey Island 2, whether the two are at all comparable is an avenue we'll stroll along later.īut they both feature a strong element of humour and inane stupidity that render them impossible to take too seriously. Simon the Sorcerer is a point-and- click graphical adventure. Anyway, it's very pleasing to see that the mocking and humiliation haven't held Adventure Soft back from turning out a quality product. It's not that this reviewer is particularly sentimental about the area he grew up in, but he knows the prejudice that Midlanders have to endure from the rest of the mocking public.ĭue to the nature of the accent everyone things that Brummies have the IQ of a toothbrush, and it doesn't matter if you're the Dean of Aston (not Saunders you understand) University, people still believe you to be socially retarded.

So knowing that Adventure Soft draw their experience and rich sense of humour from that halcyon heartland of Birmingham, I decided to jump I and give them a fair whip of the proverbial crack (am I meant to say that the other way around?). No, seriously, not only do we share the same namesake, but we also have the misfortune of coming from the same region of the world. In the case of Adventure Soft's new title Simon the Sorcerer there were two uncanny connections that sent an icy chill down to my spine.įor one, the main character and I both share the same namesake, and secondly, well I'm not a sorcerer, but when I was in Greece on holiday this girl said I was magic. Somehow, you feel intrinsically drawn towards it. That aside, it's not often that something arrives and you find some strange mystical connection. In fact come to think of it it's quite a rarity for anything at all to come into the office by that means.

It's not often that a piece of software wings its way by carrier pigeon to the Gamer solitary confinement cell.
