Description
Spellcasting 101 is the first in a series of risque adventures from the mind of
Steve Meretzky of
Leather Goddesses of Phobos fame.
This textual liaison pits you as Ernie Eaglebeak, a student at Sorcerer University who finds himself caught in a possible Doomsday situation. Seduce the women and have fun along the way. There are many women with little clothing, although no actual nudity. The game is loaded with college type jokes (eg: Join the famous Tappa Kegga Bru or I Phelta Thi).
The game play was a development of the parser based text adventure typical of the Infocom games but included graphic images that changed as the puzzles were solved and the game progressed.

Trivia
Spellcasting 101 (1990) was the very first project for the Legend Entertainment Company. Steve Meretzky, the Author and designer of the game came from the Infocom Company where he was responsible for developing some of the all time classics text adventures such as Leather Goddesses of Phobos. The spellcasting series added to his reputation for the slightly raunchy. The game play was a development of the parser based text adventure typical of the Infocom games but included graphic images that changed as the puzzles were solved and the game progressed. Legend ran with this style, which to me has a unique timeless appeal, with other games such as "Gateway" and "Eric the Unready", until the release of "The Companions of Xanth" (1993) which inevitably dropped the parser text in favour of the developing technology which led to pure graphics controlled by the mouse click. This early pure graphic style also has shown to have a timeless appeal. Infocom for example also released "The Leather Goddesses of Phobos 2" (1992) in this style, and both of these games are still much sought after.
