A series of five adventure games, created initially by Adventure Soft and Head First Production, later by the German company Silver Style Entertainment, in the which the protagonist, an obnoxious, narcissistic teenager from our universe, gets sucked into another universe by the good wizard Calypso to fight the evil wizard Sordid.Basic as the plot may sound, these games include endless charming parodies of various popular books and fairy tales, including Rapunzel, The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Jack and the Beanstalk and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. To wit: the latter involves a troll protesting about being tossed from a bridge every day and thus wishing to rework his contract.The first game was about as well received as the Monkey Island games at the time, getting scores in the 90% area. Seven games have been made in total (two games being average pinball and puzzle games), the first two beloved, the subsequent sequels... not so much. An eighth game that would bring the series back to its roots with 2D graphics, a more British sense of humour and hand-drawn imagery was later in development by StoryBeasts. Unfortunately, the developing team broke up and the project was cancelled. In the year 2022 the prequel game Simon the Sorcerer: Origins developed by Smallthing Studios was announced.The first two games are also available as apps in the Apple Store and can be played on the iPad. Whether it's as fun or practical to play as the PC version is arguable. In 2018, a 25th anniversary edition was released on Steam.Simon is voiced in the first game by Chris Barrie, known for his roles in Red Dwarf and The Brittas Empire. | |

Warp Whistle | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_159850a5 | comment |
Warp Whistle: Especially in the first and the third. The first features a magic map in your inventory that, when used at any place of the world, allows you to instantly appear in a few specific parts of the world (useful especially to travel around the maze-like forest). The third features two sets of scattered magic phonebooths, one around the countryside and other inside the city, and entering any of them allows you to appear at any booth belonging to the same set. Later on the same game, you get a rainbird that, when summoned, rides you from anywhere in the world to anywhere where there's a platform with a picture of a bird (they're scattered around the countryside and the city, and a few in areas not reachable by other way). | |

Dummied Out | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_1653843c | comment |
Climbing. There's a point in the third game that requires you to climb a rock. It could have been much easier if you were told at some point that you're able to climb in that game. During the tutorial you're explained everything else you can do there, but the only thing you really should have been explained was left unexplained. Actually the manual tells it, but there's no in-game explanation. Besides, considering that's the only time in the whole game where you can actually climb (except from another rock in the very first room, but it's pointless to climb there, so most players will finish the game without knowing they could climb there), players could even believe it was a Dummied Out mechanic. | |

| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_19cc20f3 | comment |
One-Person Birthday Party: In the first game, when Simon visits the swampling's house, Swampy mistakes him for a guest come to celebrate Swampy's birthday. Swampy's actual birthday was three weeks earlier, but Swampy doesn't mind Simon being late because he's still the first guest to show up. | |

| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: In Simon the Sorcerer the protagonist encounters a group of four wizards; when he talks to them, they pretend they are farmers. But you can point out that when you point at them with the cursor, it says "wizards"... And when you talk to them, you DO treat them as wizards. You can even tell them about the cursor. You have even to tell them about it, when you want to get a wizard. Any other explanation, how you may know, that they are wizards, they wouldn't believe. | |

Bag of Spilling | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_28104b90 | comment |
Bag of Spilling: In Simon the Sorcerer, you lose your whole inventory (you use a shrinking potion but all your stuff except clothes stay the same). As the game had an annoying tendency to clutter up your inventory with things you use only once, this was a good thing. This happens again in the sequel, twice. The first time it happens Simon says "Ah! My inventory!". As before, none of the previously held items were needed in the new areas and the removal of the old inventory removes useless clutter. And again, this happens in the third game several times. The first time, it's even lampshaded, as the goblin that gives you the rainbird asks you all the useless items in the inventory as payment. | |

The Genie Knows Jack Nicholson: The game contains a fair share of references as well. Somewhat justified what with Simon being transported from a modern world into a magical fantasy realm, but the fantasy realm itself seems pretty heavy on the references and not just to fairy tales and fantasy books, mind you. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The second game had a strange bug where a certain character and the object you needed to give them were on the same screen, and you could successfully use the SCUMM-style interface to "Give <object> to <character>" despite <object> not being in your inventory. This skipped a large chunk of game and messed up many dependencies. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable: The final puzzle of the third game involves opening the CD drive on an in-game computer by opening the CD drive of your own real computer. However, not all computer setups handle this the same way on the programming side. Already at the time of the game's release, some computers would not send the signal the game looks for as an indication that the CD drive was opened, therefore making the final puzzle impossible to solve. | |

By far the worst is in Simon the Sorcerer 3D. The game is full of moments like that, but the final puzzle is just unforgettable. You're in front of a huge computer, and you must put a CD there. The problem is that the computer has no button to open the CD space. So, what to do? Oh, easy: just stand in front of the computer with the CD on your hand, and then open the CD space of your REAL-LIFE COMPUTER, so that the in-game computer opens. No previous hints at any point. | |

| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_49d59be9 | comment |
Scenery Porn: The first game has many, many locations that are completely empty and whose only purpose is to look gorgeous. Interestingly, at least in the first game, in the wilderness faces are everywhere. If there are cliffs, rock formations, or really anything made of stone, expect to find at least one. This becomes more obvious as you enter the mountains, as the formations become more Eldritch Abomination like in appearance. While beautiful, making you feel like you've stepped straight into a parody of Middle Earth, the level of detail can work against the player. Some key items are obscured, like the fossil, making them very easy to overlook and miss. | |

Moon Logic Puzzle: The first game has a puzzle that requires you to use a magnet to collect gold coins. Simon even points out how stupid this is. The second game features a puzzle that is relative straightforward: Use a pair of fuzzy slippers to sneak past a monster. But the way of GETTING those slippers is absolutely bizarre, you have to use the "wear" command on a dog, which turns said dog into a pair of slippers via magic. Note that while Simon is a sorcerer that is the only point in the game where you can do magic just like that. | |

Sequel Hook: Rather than just having its own self-contained story, Simon the Sorcerer ends very unsatisfyingly with a games show presenter hijacking the plot to make a shameless plug over next year's sequel.

During the tutorial you're explained everything else you can do there, but the only thing you really should have been explained was left unexplained. Actually the manual tells it, but there's no in-game explanation. Besides, considering that's the only time in the whole game where you can actually climb (except from another rock in the very first room, but it's pointless to climb there, so most players will finish the game without knowing they could climb there), players could even believe it was a Dummied Out mechanic. The second game also features a crowning moment of Guide Dang It near the end of the game. You need to be able to sneak past a monstrous guard. The solution to muffling Simon's footsteps? Wear a dog. This command makes Simon magically transform the dog into a pair of fuzzy slippers and wear them. On one hand, a recurring source of humor in the series is Simon's near total inability to use actual magic, but on the other hand, there are many instances in the second game where he uses magic effortlessly, like in the Idle Animation, or when he has to dry himself. Regardless, this trick comes out of nowhere. Hush puppies. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: The first game ends jarringly as soon as Sordid is vanquished, with a games show presenter to make a shameless plug over next year's sequel. Even Simon is baffled and asks what is going on. We don't see Calypso make a proper appearance after being saved. Suddenly, Simon's back on Earth, in his bedroom believing it was All Just a Dream. Then a huge mechanical arm emerges from a portal to abduct him back to the fantasy world. | |

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_82b4f38e | comment |
Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: In the first game Simon is a little bland but generally sympathetic. This all changes by the second game when he acts like a sexist, mean-spirited, stubborn, self-loathing, whiny, sadistic jerk to everyone he meets. Many of the game's puzzles require Simon to screw over the game's other characters in order to get his own way. This continues in the third game where, when tasked with assembling four specific characters, he discovers that three of them are people that he has variously killed, crippled and turned into a frog in his adventures up to that point. The fourth he simply leered at whilst making near-constant remarks about her large chest and revealing outfit. It helps that Simon gets dumped on almost as often as he messes with everyone else, preventing him from becoming a monster and generally leading to hilarity. Bonus points for the fact that in the first game, he is voiced by Chris Barrie, who played the similar character Rimmer in Red Dwarf. | |

Informing the Fourth Wall: Several distinct lines including when you Use Crowbar on any person: "Very tempting and very illegal", pick up any person: "I prefer blondes", and eat anything not meant to be eaten: "That is not part of a balanced diet". It's interesting to note that, if you want to pick up a blond girl, you get a different response, usually something on the lines of "Not my type" or "She wouldn't like that". | |

Multiple Head Case | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_8f842f45 | comment |
Multiple Head Case: There's a two headed shopkeeper in the first game whose heads bicker about where the merchandise should go ("The asparagus jelly belongs with the other jellies!" "I think it belongs with the vegetables!"). Apparently they don't share digestive systems, since one head complains about needing to go to the toilet and the other snaps that he'll just have to restrain himself. It is revealed if you listen to them long enough, that they were originally one person (the right head) but he touched a glowing stone, causing a second head to grow from his shoulder. Whether this is magic or a mutation is never explained. | |

Child Mage: Played with in the games, where Simon is a regular British kid from our world who ends up in the magical realm. However, he doesn't have any magical abilities on his own. During the second game, Simon uses a few magic tricks, like cleaning or drying himself, but the player can't control when that happens. Also there are several animations of Simon's avatar when you left it idle for a while, including summoning some silver balls to juggle them, and levitating as he takes the lotus position. | |

Upon winning three rounds, the witch transforms into a dragon (breaking the rule she set at the start).

| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_c33ba0a8 | comment |
Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Simon the Sorcerer 3D has a strange character called Jar Nin whom you accidentally kill at the beginning of the game. Towards the end of the game it turns out that you have to resurrect him because you need him on your team. But when you do, he does exactly nothing and even vanishes shortly after, never to be seen or mentioned again. To be precise, except of Coneman the Barabrain, the entire subplot about great heroes was kinda pointless. | |

Idle Animation | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_c64db44b | comment |
Idle Animation: In the first game, Simon would put on headphones and listen to music. In the second game, he would levitate, look closer at the screen, juggle, and get so old that he's reduced to a skeleton. | |

Shout-Out: Practically the games' raison d'être. The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, and The Sword in the Stone are among the most obvious ones. | |

30 Minutes, or It's Free! | |

30 Minutes, or It's Free!: In Simon the Sorcerer 3D, Pizza Lord charge 10,000 coins for their pizzas, unless they take more than 1 minute to arrive. To get your pizza for free, you have to give one of the characters a bottle of booze; the pizza delivery boy has a terrible sense of direction and is forced to ask the character for directions, but if the character is drunk they'll refuse to help and slow the delivery down. | |

I Know Your True Name | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_d3b02ffb | comment |
I Know Your True Name: Towards the end of Simon the Sorcerer, you must banish two demons to back to hell. One requirement for the ritual to do so is knowing their true names. Strangely enough, they want to go back to Hell, but still refuse to give out their names to you. Though this could have something to do with their true names being "Belchgrabbit" and "Snogfondle". | |

Metal Detector Puzzle | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_d59dd886 | comment |
Metal Detector Puzzle: In the first game, the player has to literally use a metal detector to find a mythical metal known as "milrith", said to be stronger than even mithril. This pretty much involves trying the detector on every screen until it picks up the ore. | |

Bag of Holding | |
| Simon the Sorcerer (Video Game) / int_e3226029 | comment |
Bag of Holding: Simon's hat can hold such things as barrels and ladders. As with everything else, Simon lampshades it a few times. Though oddly he won't pick up a loose plank under Swampy's house saying "It's too big for me" despite it being no bigger than the ladder was. | |

Evil Twin | |

Evil Twin: The ending of the third game introduces a second Simon with a stereotypical Beard of Evil. Fridge Logic kicks in once you realise that Simon himself isn't really a good guy. The sequel reveals that the other Simon is actually his ''lawful'' twin. | |

You Bastard!: The cliffhanger ending of the second game has Simon criticize the player for enjoying the situation he's ended up in (stuck in Sordid's body and at the receiving end of much humiliation by the citizens while Sordid romps around in his body in the real world), and throws in a bit of Paranoia Fuel to drive the point home. | |
