Synopsis

Plot

You enter a world of magic - somewhere in the building are some magic props, wand, hat, card, scarf and box which you must collect and return with them in your possession.

Notes

Tom Frost's first game. It was originally written as a ZX81 adventure.

The Spectrum version appears in a Tartan Software classified advert in Popular Computing Weekly #17 (1984/4/26) dating it to at least 1984.

An early ZX Spectrum version of the game, as Magic Treasure Adventure in the index but both Castle Adventure and Magic Adventure in the listing, also appeared as a type-in in Clive Gifford's book More Adventure Games For Your ZX Spectrum, pp.33-97, published in 1984 by Virgin Books.

A much later version of the game, was enhanced by the author for inclusion as a bonus on the B-side of the final Tartan ZX Spectrum release, The Lost Dragon.
