THE MAGIC CANDLE (mc)

  • BOOKMARKS for The Magic Candle
    • Magic Candle is an old DOS rpg trilogy (some of the first rpgs I played). Don't let the simplistic old graphics fool you -- these games are challenging, tough, and worth playing.

    • Jason Spangler's Website. The definitive website for the Magic Candle trilogy -- you can get all three games here if you don't have them, as well as walkthroughs, maps, cheats, editors and hacks. He also has the disk versions of two MC spinoffs - Bloodstone and Keys to Maramon (I just finished both, enjoyed them). A really excellent and comprehensive site.
