Matruchus: A short youtube review of the game is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCybzzOQGbs#t=56
It's sad that the youtuber doesn't have proper hardware to record games properly with a good framerate (looks like it's in slow motion). I'll just post another video where the framerate is more consistent ;)

HypersomniacLive: In before "but it's not a classic release". ;-P
Good point. But at least we have a day for those, even if that day moves around a bit. ;)

Say, isn't it time yet for another Cinemaware game? My wallet says "Yes, please".

Damn, if only it wasn't so ugly. I mean, it's not Fist Puncher ugly, but it's ugly enough to ruin the immersion for me, and that's where I draw on the line on graphics. I like a lot of styles, but this just isn't working it.

It doesn't look bad. If I weren't currently beginning a play through of IWD2 I would totally get it. Will keep an eye on the reviews. Daily releases on GOG?

It'd appear that you've given your wallet too many liberties. Even when I say "yes, please", mine replies back "NO, not yet". ;-)
Which title do you think will be next?

Not my kind of game .

I have been rather too liberal with the little beast, aye. :)

My guess is the next Cinemaware release will be Wings. The one I'm most waiting for now is It Came From The Desert, but I plan on collecting them all whatever order they appear in.

Looks mildly interesting, despite the annoying-looking graphics . Wishlisted for now .

It Came From The Desert is the one I'm looking forward too, as it's the only one I've played on PC (never had an Amiga), so yes, let the next one be Wings, please. ;-)

To the wishlist it will go, when I'll get it no one knows!

Heh, wallet shielding activated. ;)

I'm also looking forward to Sinbad and Lords Of The Rising Sun. Though The King Of Chicago and SDI should be good as well. I'm somewhat curious as to what games won't be coming, since the article on the Cinemaware site takes pains to say "a selection of Cinemaware’s classic games" and "some of their classic titles". I'm guessing they won't be porting the TV Sports titles, which is no loss to me.

We are the magic makers,
And we are the dreamers of spells

The idea of all the spell combinations sounds fun, but then again it's not really all that new, there have been many games allowing the player to make many spell combinations. And the graphics reall don't appeal to me. I might check it out eventually, but not before my wishlist get's shorter, and there's some 50% discount.

I get an impression of Rogue Legacy with spellmaking mechanics. If the gameplay is anywhere near that, I'll quickly buy it and enjoy the resulting arcane chaos. Is my impression accurate?

For just a small moment, I thought GOG was beginning to sell software alongside their inclusion of movies. "Magic-maker" sounds so much like just a title!

Interesting concept it brings to this platformer game.

Btw: Cinemaware had a Kickstrter campaign a while ago (successful) for Wings HD remake....
