The Price of Magik

Crash

"The Price of Magik is a nigh on perfect game when compared to its competitors and, as new Level 9 releases tend to, represents a further improvement on their own adventure system, featuring the superb type-ahead that allows the player to input constantly and at all times. In both story background and style of play it has many similarities with Red Moon where the player can wander for a long time without having much clue as to where the solution of the game might be. The number of locations which the player can explore without having to solve intractable problems further distances this game from the old adventures where linear solution paths made for dull, string-of-problems style adventuring. The game really begins in earnest when you begin to learn how to use the magic when some aspects of D&D may appear familiar."

Time and Magik
"Checking your inventory, you will not only be told what you are carrying but also your sanity (you start 100% sane but each time your sanity is shaken, your sanity decreases by 2%), your rating (novice etc) and your age. For magik also ages you and the loss of your youth and your increasing madness are the price of magik. [...] I almost completed Price of Magik on the spectrum too and enjoyed it as far as I got."
