Can't for the life of me remember this Wizard game

02 February 2015, 18:53

Hello

I created an account as i'm trying to remember a certain game it's really bugging me and I can't find the name of it anywhere. I believe it was on an Amiga but it may be on the Atari ST.

It was a very (in my mind) pretty game concerning a wizard in a pointy hat that throws bouncing (green) balls as a weapon. I believe it mostly took place in a forest with a black background.

A little vague I know, but if you have any ideas I would love to hear them as this is doing my head in

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately it was none of those, background wise though I remember it being very similar to the 'Apprentice' suggestion.

The key gameplay mechanic is that he threw bouncing balls in a very limited arc.

I don't know why but this is driving me nuts that I can't remember it.

It's so similar to this it could as well be, lol. But unfortunately that's not the one. You also had to collect keys for chests, and it generally had a lot of 'loot'.

Along with a slightly more dark 'Shadow of the Beast' style.

It sounds a lot like Elf to me, except the protagonist isn't a wizard... erm, obviously.

Just incase you remembered the character wrong.

No pointy hat. But you weren't thinking of this?
Mysterious Worlds?
The only other game is jambala.

Both Elf and Fire and Brimstone a very similar to it, the only reason I don't believe it's them is that I distinctively remember the sound the 'balls' made and the popping of the enemies . The fantastic sound design is why I believe it's still stuck in my head.

It is indeed entiley possible I am remembering the main character wrong though....

Thanks for the suggestions guys, wow there really were a lot of very similar platformers out then. Unfortunately still none of those are what I'm thinking I wish I still new the guy that I used to play the game over at his house.

It might be possible that it wasn't on an Amiga, as so far people have found 3 different games that more or less exactly match the description.

Haha thanks so much you nailed it.

Wow in my head it looked and sounded a hell of a lot better. Might have to find me a Rom of this (and figure out how to use them).

Thanks to everyone for your help.
