Aim of the game
Having released Gimbal the wizard from a self-inflicted White Out
spell at the end of SPELLBOUND, Magic Knight has been catapulted through
time to the future. He has materialised on a 25th-century starship, the
USS Pisces, but has had the good fortune to find a Datacube which has
reduced his culture shock. His only chance of getting back lies in
finding the Tyme Guardians and assembling the pieces of a Tyme Machine -
but the Paradox Police are waiting to arrest him in 30 days' time...
Game play
Magic Knight (MK to his friends) has quite a number of tasks
to perform before he can return home. This involves manipulating the
various objects lying around the game's 25 screens; this is done using
the "Windimation" window/menu system that is the hallmark of the Magic
Knight games. Using the joystick or keyboard, commands are given by
selecting options from a series of nested menus that pop up on the
screen. New options appear on the main menu as the game progresses and
problems are solved. The first problem is to get an ID card in order to
convince the crew that you're genuine - a blank card, camera, film,
glue, plus the droid Klink and the transputer Derby IV, will come in
handy...
