A video showing the completion of Sorcery+

I just have to point this out. Does anybody remember the game Sorcery+ for the Amstrad back in the 80s? On YouTube is a three part video of it being completed.





It even shows the bit in the second level where you drop the Roland toy into the water and the 4th golden heart surfaces.

I remember the day when I first encountered Sorcery+. It was running on an Amstrad on display in Debenhams. At the time I thought the graphics were spectacular and I loved the sound of the sorcerer moving through doors and killing the enemies with shooting stars . One of the sales assistants kindly lent me a joystick so I could play and I was hooked. I was still playing when the time came to close the store. I wanted the game but found out it was only available for the Amstrad which wasn't the computer I owned at the time . So I ended up wanting an Amstrad as well...

It was only 4 or 5 years ago that I found out that if you drop the Roland toy into the water it turns into a golden heart. When I used to play the game I wondered what function the Roland toy performed but never managed to work it out. My technique for obtaining the fourth golden heart is to take a jewelled crown from the first level into the second level. It took me a few attempts to find the right object that turns into a golden heart on entering the second level.

That room with the pilot lights in is really freaky. Even freakier is the way you can visit Gatwick.
