What is your dosbox conf (cycles, frameskip) guys? When I slow it down to 25% the game acts funny - goes slow and then fast every now and then.

Instead of using Auto cycles, try setting a pre-defined value. DOSBox' autodetection technically works, but goes awry when running more demanding games.

As everything Bullfrog developed, Magic Carpet series is awesome, a masterpiece. Even in present days. But as every video game, at least the first one sucks in some aspects, notably some issues put in each level to make it more difficult and, obviously, less playable and interesting. For instance, the spells stop working after some mysterious triggering in level 13 - if I'm not mistaken - and are partially restored after a couple of walks over the water; also the entire world seems frozen and the effects of some spells are delayed. I found just one gamer complaining about this issue (on Vogons forum), and he couldn't say if this is part of the game or just a bug.
I'd like so much to talk to someone who played n. 1 until the end on the PC and share some impressions. I'd also appreciate to find a general walkthrough with each level, not too detailed, but with enough information to make me know if occurrences like that are real bugs or simply in-game jokes.

Very much agreed Admiral Gaskaville

That said, I'm surprised nobody has done a true remake of Magic Carpet 2. Yes the controls were annoying to get used to (Turok controls, anyone?) but that was part of the fun. The atmosphere and graphics were beautiful for the time. I can only imagine what they would look like using todays graphics capabilities. I finished both games many times. The final level on MC2 was hours of work to do properly, and I died regularly and often. When your opponent wizards get to level 5 Castle or better, watch out. They get sneaky and very very dangerous, and have a habit of popping up at the very worst times. I really wish Bullfrog (or Peter Molyneux!) would redo this gem. To this day I load up DosBox occasionally just to play these two again. And HiOctane, and Syndicate |
