You could say the storyline of this game is "virgin" on the ridiculous but please don't! You are the last of the great sorcerers who must free an enslaved land from evil forces.

This is done by flying over seventeen screens of woods, lakes, wilds, swamps, castles and dungeons, collecting and using objects correctly until you reach Stonehenge. Place the right object on the altar and presto! The land is freed of serfdom: but you must reach it before sunset!

Sorcery is a real arcade adventure, slighly reminiscent of Alchemist, and based on a Spectrum game. Graphics are good, smooth and fast, and screen presentation is excellent. Sound is superb, with a constant thunderstorm and banging doors.

However, the ultimate appeal is dubious. Once the quest is complete, the game is pointless.

Still, it is an excellent arcade adventure and I recommend it. But I did find the fast loading system unreliable.

P.S.
