 THE PRICE OF MAGIK 

 Level 9 1986



 CONTROLS : Keyboard only

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

 AIM : The dying light of the Red Moon has been captured in a crystal

 by the magicians of Baskalos to act as the last repository of magik.

 Its guardian for many years has been Myglar, a wise and respected

 sorcerer. But unbeknownst to the other magicians, Myglar was steadily

 being consumed by fears for his own mortality. Now he is channeling

 the remaining power of the Red Moon crystal into keeping himself alive.

 It's your task to defeat him and recover the crystal before he drains

 it completely of its magik.



 GAMEPLAY : TPOM is a fairly conventional adventure game, in two

 flavours - a 48K version with cut-down text and a 128K version with

 full text and extra features (see below). It's a big game (well worth

 mapping!) and quite complex too; there are 18 spells you'll need to

 learn and for which you'll need to find certain objects to act as

 foci. 



 COMMENTS : "An excellent adventure game".

 RATING : 94% (CRASH #30, July 1986)



 NOW : This, the sequel to RED MOON, is another classic Level 9 game

 and is still a very good adventure indeed.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

 COMMANDS : The 128K version has three special commands: RAM SAVE and

 RAM RESTORE, which are pretty self-explanatory, and UNDO, which undoes

 the previous command (even if it was fatal).
