Description

Thelric the Wizard has kidnapped you by beaming you into his world, and will only set you free if you recover for him the Amulet of Immortality. The game engine is menu-driven, using the joystick to select options from menus to activate each of the game's main functions. The screen display has both top down and side-view representations of what is going on around you, plus measures of your mind and body health, and an inventory.

To help, Thelric teaches you four spells - a magic missile to attack creatures, a burn spell which works over a wide radius, a spell to drain enemy energy, and a magical shield. Additional weapons (including daggers and a mace) and potions can be collected throughout your quest.

Trivia
Rob Hubbard's music for this game is a cover version of the track Shibolet by Synergy from the album Audion.

Description from the packaging:

Richard Darling has used artificial intelligence techniques to create a new concept for Role playing adventures.
This is the first of a series of programs bringing together the mind challenging book adventure and the data processing capability of the computer.
New techniques create a constantly changing display of your journey through the underworld. At the same time startling graphical images of monsters and objects in your vicinity are shown. Rob Hubbard's outstanding music adds to the eerie fascination.

Whilst exploring underground caverns you chance upon a deep black pool. A ripple in the mirror smooth surface draws you closer to the edge - a powerful hand slides out and swiftly drags you under! It is the hand of Thelric, Master of Magic, plunging you into his strange world of Magic and Mystery.
It is written in the Book of Magic that only Thelric has the knowledge which blends time and space into a powerful spell. He will not cast this spell to return you to your own world until you retrieve for him the Lost Amulet of Immortality, without it he will age and die.
He teaches you some useful spells, you embark on your dangerous quest...
