What's the best game around for the Amstrad right now? Sorcery, that's what.

C&VG's review team voted this the best game ever for this machine so far after spending hours playing it! I was the unlucky one who had to drop the joystick long enough to write this review.

Sorcery follows the current arcade adventure trend - but does it with style. The idea is to help the last Free Sorceror free all his mates, imprisoned by the evil Necromancer, and destroy that evil Overlord.

To do this, the Free Sorceror must solve puzzles, find objects and destroy the Necromancer's evil assistants - and all before the time limit runs out!

The graphics are stunning - beautifully drawn and animated - showing just what can be done with the Amstrad. There are 40 screens to wend your way through - each one with something new to delight the eye. Our screenshots can't hope to do it justice. Oh, and the sound is pretty neat too - especially when you fall into a pool or river!

Gameplay is absorbing and totally addictive. Not a game you can get away from easily. And with that your reviewer rushed back into the computer room, pushed aside the crowd around the Amstrad and claimed his turn...

Don't waste any more time reading this. Just go out and get Sorcery - you'll be enchanted!
