Description:
Upto six characters explore a dungeon in search of loot and glory.
Characters may be fighters, mages, thieves, witches, elves or
necromancers. As characters advance they can cast more powerful
spells and purchase better weapons and armour. The goal is to
develop your characters and then find and defeat the supernatural
being who attacked a castle many years before.
Sorcery is provided with a manual listing all weapons, armour
and spells. With an emulator you can save a game in progress
with an emulator "system snapshot" function. Gameplay: A lot of time was spent balancing the gameplay. Accordingly even though it's fourteen years old it is still playable. Comments: It's amazing what you can do with 19.5Kb if you have to. Sorcery arrived on the scene too late for a commercial release. Accordingly plans for a full-assembler multi-player (yes, really! You could hook two VICs together by wiring their user ports - no electronics!) sequel were shelved.
