I'll get to each one separately and explain why I feel it gets a full star or not. Now I can get into great detail with everything about this game, but this is just a quick review of the game. If you would like to know more just let me know in the comments below. Plus I will also be posting links to some other great resources.
This game is a blast from the past! I have played this before and still own my original books and CD! I will do this initial review and also be posting a tips and tricks page and even try to scan the books in for reference material as well. Games like these are what got me into gaming for the games and stories. I do not know why I ever thought I could be a wizard and rule a kingdom, and this game gave that chance. So let's embark onto the review!

Story

"Master of Magic takes place across two worlds, Arcanus and Myrror. Arcanus is a land much like our Earth, with climatic zones and varied terrain like forests, oceans, grasslands and deserts. Myrror is a parallel world to Arcanus, featuring heavier magic use and fantastic flora, minerals and fauna not found on Arcanus. The two worlds are physically linked to each other by special portals called Towers of Wizardry, allowing units to travel between worlds.That really does not tell me too much about the game either though. As long as I have played this game I do not think I have ever been able to beat it either so I really do not know if there is an actual story or just an implied sense of beat all the other wizards. For this, I will only be giving it half a star.
Magic nodes - which are valuable sources of magical power - are scattered throughout both worlds. The worlds are populated by traditional fantasy races like elves and halflings, plus races which were introduced early to gaming via Simtex's games, like the insectoid Klackons." - Master of Magic Wiki

I know I always do new games I have not played before. Something has been nagging at me for a little while now since I started this blog. MBRTV has always been about old school games and bringing back the nostalgia and real games. I have always tried to bring back unnoticed games, and even games that were popular for their time. Since I started doing the mobile games and newer games review I felt like MBRTV disappeared. So I will also be doing all the old school games as well now. Not just new games. I will still be doing them all the same way though. This is one of those amazing games that I feel just did not get enough recognition for what it was. The gameplay was solid, fun and very in depth. I am still learning new things in this game. I will also be working on the tips and tricks for this as well as trying to get these books scan and posted too. I do hope you all enjoyed the review, and have yourselves a magical day!
