Description

Help young magician Flush clean up his rooms!

Flush, an apprentice magician, was doing some cleaning while his master was away, and found an old grimoire which his master believed had been lost. Flush couldn’t resist trying some of the spells in the grimoire, but things got ugly and the castle was quickly overrun by dangerous magical creatures, including an evil twin of Flush!

Now you must help Flush clean up his mess with the help of magic spells locked inside magic boxes. Certain creatures are immune to certain types of magic, and this will force you to play strategically. If all else fails, you can open the door to the next room of the castle by collecting the 4 keys in the current room.

Can you get this dangerous job done before your master’s return? Do the best you can and try to beat your high score!

Majikazo

Overview & History

Released by Bit Corporation as an unlicensed title for the ColecoVision in 1983 (later distributed under various other regional monikers), *Majikazo* stands as a fascinating technical curio of the classic console era. While the ColecoVision library was largely defined by polished arcade conversions, *Majikazo* offered a distinct, platform-hopping fantasy quest that leaned heavily into quirky, puzzle-oriented exploration. The storyline casts the player as a fledgling sorcerer tasked with navigating the labyrinthine chambers of a mystical fortress to reclaim stolen magical relics from a rogue alchemist. Though it missed the peak commercial window of the console's lifespan, this cult classic has since gained recognition among retro enthusiasts for its vibrant color palette, distinct screen transitions, and demanding level architecture that pushed the limits of the TMS9918A video display processor.

Gameplay Features & Mechanics

Unlike standard side-scrollers of its time, *Majikazo* plays out across a series of fixed-screen, multi-tiered platforms where positioning and environmental interaction are paramount. Players must guide the wizard through gauntlets filled with hovering spirits, bouncing spectral orbs, and shifting magical barriers. The primary character moves with a distinct, slightly floaty momentum, requiring precise calculation for every jump. Instead of a traditional melee attack, the wizard utilizes ranged spell projectiles that can be charged or fired in cardinal directions to neutralize hazards or trigger pressure plates. Navigation involves collecting keys, unlocking mystified portals, and manipulating elemental switches that alter the maze-like geometry of the room in real-time. Lives are limited, and touching any enemy or environmental hazard instantly depletes a life, making hazard memorization and route optimization essential for survival.
