Description official 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.

A great game in its time, a classic today.
The Good
With a little fantasy you could call it one of the first 3rd person graphic adventures, although your character is just a yellow blob.
You navigate through a 2D maze, graphics of items and opponents are however displayed in a separate window and are pretty HQ. Compared to today, the puzzles are not really complex, but still challenging. The Intro- and In-game-music is great and even features transitions in case of death or victory.
The Bad
Like most C64 games, it is rather short and does not have a save-game-option.
The Bottom Line
