CRITICALLY SPEAKING..COMMODORE 64

Enchanter

ENCHANTER (NA / ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) is a magical text adventure set in a desolate land dominated by the evil warlock Krill. You have been chosen to confront Krill because you are the least experience enchanter the circle could find and, therefore, the least likely to attract his attention. You must journey to Krill's castle along and discover his secrets. Along the way, you find scrolls containing magic spells which you can learn and use in various ways. You only learn fou spells at a time. One spell allows you to turn things (including yourself) into newts, which another spell will open any locked object. Some spells are too powerful to be used, since they will attract attention to you. Once you get into Krill's castle, you must watch your step, as there are many ways to die, most very unpleasant! Hopefully, by the time you find Krill, you will be powerful and experienced enough to defeat him.

Totally Involving

At times, it's easy to forget that you're playing a game -- we found ourselves cringing whenever there were approaching footsteps. The tension builds as your search continues, wondering what lies around the next corner to challenge your slowly building powers. The gameplay is totally involving, and the situations encountered are challenging, to say the least. This is definitely one game you can't put down. One hint -- use the save feature whenever you encounter a potentially dangerous situation. That way, if you get killed, you can restore the game rather than having to start over.
