 Terexin, leader of the Council of Wizards, is sending the young sorcerer,
Hocus, on a special mission to prove his worthiness. This mission will take Hocus to 16
unique realms, each filled with unique dangers and enemies. Few have survived Terexin's
final test--for many it's a one-way trip.
Along the way Hocus will encounter dragons, imps, ghosts and 30 more unique creatures,
demons and enemies. Survive, and Hocus becomes a full-fledged, card carrying Wizard. The
other option is not so favorable. Awesome and beautiful 256-color VGA graphics. After
every two levels of play the level graphics, background and enemies completely change,
giving this game unparalleled variety. Hocus Pocus is a action platform game, with
exciting puzzles built into each level's structure.
Hocus is armed with a standard magic spell (he's not yet a full Wizard, after all), but he
can find several potions that give him a temporary boost of magical energy. There are
potions that give Hocus the ability to shoot rapidly, jump higher, teleport and fire a
devastating energy blast, among others.
COOL FEATURES
- Smooth 360 degree scrolling, with a parallax background.
- Over SIX MEGS of 256-color VGA animated graphics.
- Four episodes with 36 huge levels!
- Over 30 different monsters, plus four huge bosses!
- Save/restore options, selectable skill levels, four cheat
passwords!
Hocus Pocus is an addictive, action-packed, entertaining game
that's comparable, or better than, anything found on the home cartridge
systems.
