The Magic Candle

display: raster

This game is like Ultima IV in many ways. For instance, there is no personified villain in the game; just an epic task that will save the world from a potential evil. But it has features that make it unique as well. The players party can be split into 2 or more groups whenever desired. Thus two tasks could be accomplished at once. For instance, half the party could get jobs in a town to earn money while the other half quested. Also NPC in the game had their own property and it was not available to the player's party. You had to get to know people before they would allow you into their home. Characters would suffer from Hunger and Fatigue if not feed and rested. Weapons would wear out and break if not properly maintained. And time passing plays an important roll in several aspects of the game.

The USA version was announced to be published by American Sammy but it never was. Enjoy the Japanese version if you can find one to buy and can read Japanese. Otherwise play one of the computer versions.
