I'm looking for a game...

o_frenchtoast · 04-15-2006, 04:59 PM

It's an old game. You play as a wizard, and you shoot lightning bolts out of your fingers. 'Tis sidescrolling.

Damn, I can't remember the name... I need to find it...

How would a ROM search help in this case? He doesn't know the name of it, and unless each ROM has a detailed description it's pretty useless.

How old is this game? Do you remember anything else about it?

o_paft · 04-15-2006, 08:02 PM

I think This is what you're looking for.

o_yomamashouse · 04-15-2006, 09:08 PM

Is it Hocus Pocus? I remember playing that one and it is a sidescroller where you play as a wizard.

Yes! Gooo Brendon!

I played that for ages, and I'm bored today. I got Cosmo too, and fired up Commander Keen 1, 4 and 6 off of disket

Just installed Duke Nukem 1.

Boy, it's a nostalgic day.

If you go to this site there is a list of all the good old games
http://www.mwcdrom.com/catalog/games/2433.htm
I recommend Reptalia if you can get it.

and this site lets you play all the old games that my dad had on the arcade machine, except elevator action and burger time.

Hocus Pocus rocks.

I remember getting the shareware version with Wacky Wheels, along with Halloween Harry, Boppin and Mystic Towers.
