Hocus Pocus
Description
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.

Simple but Fun
This platformer has good level design and good graphics for it's time. Rarely do you get stuck wandering around confused because you are unsure where to go (which can happen with similar games). The controls are a little floaty, but once you get used to them that floatiness actually becomes an asset. So don't turn it off right away because the controls feel slippery. Do yourself a favor and wait a couple levels, so that you can appreciate the controls as a gameplay device rather than just an irritating quirk.

Simple, but great
This is an extremely enjoyable little gem of a game. Despite not having too many mechanics (it's just jumping and shooting, with occasional different shooting and different jumping), it manages to be very fun to play nonetheless. The nostalgia factor is very strong with this one, but even people who play it for the first time should find something of interest here.
