Black Magic (C64/CPC/Spectrum)

I used to play this game on the AppleIIe when I was young. It was one of the best games at the time. It's too bad the AppleIIe version didn't make it into this product, I think it was one of the best ones. Sadly the Commodore 64 version freezes up before you can get to the second level. The other versions are odd because you can select into the second level, in the Commodore 64 and AppleIIe versions you have to get though the first level to get to the second. Not a great game, although great in its time. I'd like to see an modern version of this game. The food mechanic was really nice to add a sense of urgency to the game but not have it use a set timer. It almost feels like a survival game. Good game for its time, would have liked to see the AppleIIe version (AppleWin is a good emulator if you have the rom), and the Commodore 64 version freezes. It was interesting to see the other versions, but they were somewhat inferior to the Commodore 64, and AppleIIe was really the most polished. Try it out if you have a few bucks.
