Once again, he fell foul of Sordid and ended up losing his body to the evil sorcerer who then departed to ourĭimension, leaving Simon bodiless and nicely set up for the sequel you’ve now got in your hands. He and Sordid left the farm and hatched a cunning plot to bring Simon back to their world by way of a magical wardrobe.Īlthough Simon was brought back as intended, he materialised in the wrong place and was sent off on a new quest by Calypso to find some magical fuel, required to enable the wardrobe (in which he travelled) to complete the journey back home. It so transpired that a young farmer’s son, whose ignorant and simple minded father*** did not recognise the magical potential within the boy, and burnt one of Sordid’s old spellbooks, accidentally reviving the evil wizards spirit. And that’s really where it should have ended.īut the Gods (in this case Profitos and Cashinor) will often play games with the lives of men and our by now rather unwilling hero, soon found himself the subject of a barely believable attempt by Sordid to claim his revenge from beyond the grave! It was, of course, inevitable that he would save the day, vanquish Sordid, using the time honoured ‘Pit of Fire’ technique and be returned home safely and without a care in the world. He was almost completely right, except aboutĪs it turned out, the dog belonged to a kindly old wizard called Calypso who, as kindly old wizards do, was being held captive along with many of the lands other great heroes by an evil sorcerer known as Sordid. The dog jumped inside and Simon followed, hoping against hope that it would lead to a land without maths homework, where a boy could have adventures and meet bizarre and interesting characters and where it rained pizza on a daily basis. There was a flash of light and a rather cheap looking magical portal opened up before him (graphics were all 2D in those days). Incantation that would change his life forever! Went missing and was eventually discovered by Simon in the attic, with the strange book open on the floor in front of it, that things really started to go a bit Pete Tong.įor some reason, Simon could now understand the meaningless handwritten language on the pages and, his curiosity getting the better of him, he spoke the words of an Thinking nothing of this, and being unable to read the weird symbols contained on its pages, the book was removed to the attic and the dog was subjected to the strange blend of affection and harmless torturing usually afforded by boys to their faithful companions. He eagerly peeled off the wrapping paper and discovered that it was a strange and mysterious book. he did ordinary 12-year old boy things, thought ordinary 12-year old boy thoughts* and lived a basically unremarkable life until, on his birthday, a dog appeared on the doorstep carrying a package in its mouth.Since it’s been a while since we last delved into the realm of sarcasm and sorcery, it seems appropriate to do a quick recap on what’s been happening to our hopeless hero in case you didn’t buy the first games.
