Described as a "boldly exerimental concept" by reviewers, Young Merlin is one of
the highest rated fantasy action adventure games available and marks Westwood Studios'
triumphant arrival on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System
In Young Merlin, we took a familiar character, Merlin the Magician, and
asked the question: What was he like as a kid? Before the spells and
the princesses and King Arthur? How did he get his start? We then developed
a storyline, some characters, and a wild assortment of magical items and
spells, which all adds up to quite an enjoyable romp.
Some of our most creative energy has been showcased in this game. Meet the
Thunder Pig, a huge, revolting porker. Bloop, a disgustning blob of jelly.
Prepare yourself to encounter flying eyeballs, dynamite-throwing dwarves,
exploding pigs, trolls, spiders, piranhas, sharks, huge termintes, and a giant,
fireball-spewing orange dragon named Cinder. There's fighting to be done,
puzzles to solve, mazes to negotiate. The game is constantly changing, offering
new challenges in every world.
By utilizing 16 megabits, we were able to create a much more fully realized
adventure than other games on the market can offer. The soundtrack alone
takes four megabits, more space than many of our competitors spend on their
entire game cartridges. The characters are large and detailed, and the
landscapes lush and full.
As Game Player magazine noted, Young Merlin "is part action, part RPG, part
puzzler...Young Merlin looks great and plays even better."
