Twenty years ago, a teenage boy by the name of Simon discovered a mysterious chest in his attic. Upon opening it, he found what many of us have always wanted after watching and reading Harry Potter: a spellbook. Simon wasn't happy about it though, he freaked out and threw it on the ground causing a portal to appear from it leading to another world. His canine companion, "Chippy", joyfully hopped into the portal and Simon had no choice but to go in to save him. In the other world, he discovers the true purpose he was brought there and proceeds to rescue an old wizard and banish an evil sorcerer.
If that plot sounds familiar to you, then you have probably heard of Simon the Sorcerer. It was released in 1993 on Amiga and DOS. For those of you old enough to have played it, you are in luck! Developer MojoTouch has brought it back in all its glory only for Android.
The game will play much like a point-and-click adventure and will see you reprising your role as Simon looking to find his way back through the portal. The graphics, of course, will be updated, but not by much, to make sure the "retro" feel is still intact. If you want to feel nostalgic, you can actually switch back to the old graphics to remind you of the good old days.
If you are interested, you can buy the game at the Google Play Store here. It will cost you $3.99, so get it only if you were a fan of the original, or if you are a fan of point-and-click games.
Cheers!
