It's HOCUS POCUS! And it's good! And fast!

This mission will take Hocus to 16 unique realms, each filled with unique dangers and enemies. Few have survived Terexin's final test. For many it's a one-way trip.
Along the way Hocus will encounter dragons, imps, ghosts and 30 more unique creatures, demons and enemies. Survive, and Hocus becomes a full-fledged, card carrying Wizard. The other option is not so favorable. After every two levels of play the level graphics, background and enemies completely change, giving this game unparalleled variety. Hocus Pocus is a action platform game, with exciting puzzles built into each level's structure.
Hocus is armed with a standard magic spell (he's not yet a full Wizard, after all), but he can find several potions that give him a temporary boost of magical energy. There are potions that give Hocus the ability to shoot rapidly, jump higher, teleport and fire a devastating energy blast, among others.
So Smooth, It's Magic: Smooth 360-degree scrolling, with a parallax background.
Six is the Magic Number: Over 6 megs of 256-color VGA animated graphics.
Monster Mayhem: Over 30 different monsters, four huge bosses and 36 huge levels.
A Wizard's Tale: Game saves, selectable skill levels and four cheat passwords!

Funny old-school game
I just love it. I loved it when it was published, and I still love running around as a slightly over-weighted magic apprentice, trying to survive the bad jokes of my teachers. Highly recommended for all old-school nerds like myself

Enjoyable platformer
There's some kind fo story to it, not sure what its exactly about but it involves wizards and stuff and talking to the old guy. This is not exactly a difficult game so it's actually really enjoyable all the way through.

Nutshells and fullstop
It is in its own right, nothing is compromised.

A "blast" from the past!
This game makes me remember such fun memories, trying to complete even the shareware version of it... With its fast paced, maybe even blocky, movements it was perfect for those late nights when you were supposed to sleep for the next school day XD. I didn't beat it then, but managed to recently. Now that this is the full story, nothing beats it. I tweaked some settings to make it look and feel exactly like then and boy is it a nostalgia trip!! Even with Terexin's bad jokes. :D I can't recommend it more highly!
