Simon the Sorcerer

DOS - 1993
Also available on: Acorn 32-bit - Amiga

Two of the most charming adventure games ever are low-profile games that have captured many an adventurer's heart. In both games, quintessential 90's teenager Simon must prevent the evil wizard from conquering the magical world he's unwittingly zapped into. Difficult but fair puzzles, witty dialogues, and inimitable self-effacing humor and charm are the games' hallmarks.

Overall, two severely underrated games that belong on everyone's shelf.

Amazing adventure game. Released almost without any advertising and happened to become a real gem. Stunning visuals make this game very appealing and highly enjoyable. Nice puzzles that not necessarily have to be solved in fixed order make this game really interesting and fun to play. The only flaw is lack of sound effects in Amiga AGA/ECS versions which were later added in CD32 and DOS versions along way with full speech.

Unfortunately, they put a rubbish anniversary edition up on GOG, meaning you can't download this good version legally and are stuck with the terrible one you'd have to pay for.

Sheer nostalgia for a "simpler" time, that's why I'm here! Love the soundtrack and the silliness and I want my eight-year-old to compare it to Club Penguin.
