| | Magic and Mayhem (Video Game) |
comment |
Back in 1984, Julian Gollop (later known for X-COM) created Chaos for the ZX Spectrum: a turn-based game in which up to eight wizards, controlled by humans or computers, battled against each other by summoning creatures and casting spells. In 1990, this was followed by Lords of Chaos, which added maps, independent monsters, and the ability to choose what set of spells the player took into battle.In 1998, the next game in the series was released: Magic and Mayhem. Many of the spells and game mechanics are recognisable from the earlier games, but the move to the 32-bit PC platform brought substantial improvements to all areas of the game. These included, for the first time, a single-player campaign with a scripted storyline: rookie wizard Cornelius arrives home from university to find his uncle Lucan missing, and goes in search of him. It becomes apparent that much more than Lucan's life is at stake.A prequel, Magic and Mayhem: The Art of Magic was released in 2002, with similar game mechanics but using 3D polygon graphics rather than the isometric graphics of its predecessor. |

comment |
The Scrappy: Invoked in the last level, if played on the highest difficulty: During the game the player has had to keep Twigkindle the Brownie King safe on various occasions, no doubt got annoyed at his habit of straying into danger, and breathed a sigh of relief when he was killed fighting the Overlord in the final battle. On the highest difficulty level, the game resurrects him; the characters promptly decide he's 'nauseating' and ally to kill him again. |

If it looks like he's going to lose, he promptly regains all his mana and he and his apprentice attack the heroes with everything they've got. Cornelius protests, to which Malduc retorts "This is my game, and my rules." |

comment |
Familiar: Hermes the raven, the game's method of feeding useful information to the player. You learn near the end that he actually isn't, since Lucan's familiar is a cat. In the very end it turns out "he" is Morgana le Fey under the effect of a Forced Transformation. |

Mana: Mana is used up when casting spells, and recharges when a wizard, or creatures under their control, stand on a Place of Power. Gaining control over Places of Power is usually the main objective for the combatants. |

The Battle Didn't Count: Bosses frequently portal away when defeated, rather than dying. Amusingly, the second time you meet Ariadne, the developers forgot to do this, and it's possible to kill her. She still shows up a few levels later to do her Heel–Face Turn, though. |
