I LOVED the original Magic Carpet...

I'm really hoping the devs can make something spectacular.

Magic Carpet was a game I completely forgot about until I read the description of Arcane Worlds. Wow, I spent A LOT of time on that game and it was amazing. Adding this to wishlist for now but I'll purchase soon.

i am to this day searching for the mystical lost 3DFX version of magic carpet 2 which i am sure existed as special version or patch that i once saw somewhere. and if i ever found it i would have to run it through emulators or dig up some of the old junk hardware that i stashed just in case.

because that game was really good.

in the "why dont they do games like this anymore" style.

enough talking. ill push the buy button now.

Yeah, I also forgot about magic carpet until I found this game. Magic carpet was such a gem back in that time, it was so epic.

Magic Carpet is my best game in my game life.
I bought this game at Groupees Spotlight for only that reason.

Magic Carpet's feature set was far ahead of its time. The tech was the best there was at release. The feeling of wonder and being actually in a world was the best there as at the time of release, much having to do with the theme and music. The gamplay and design is still, to this day, some of the best ever done. I play the GOG version of MC2, it is STILL one of the best games ever made. The only other game that stands out as much as MC in my mind and history of game playing, is System Shock (CD enhanced version). I had a 21 inch CRT for both of these games, and a killer rig. Awesome.

the only games i have to add to that list right out of my head are carmageddon ^^, ufo and syndicate, which is another moly title, hmm privateer too come to think of it. that were my dreaming games in a way, that had a convincing world.

the only downside is that back then we thought that by now we would have the games that those old ones promised to us, with even larger worlds that really exist in a way (i.e. that arent just a scripted facade). we didnt even mind the exact game mechanics in a way, as what these games had in common was a degree of freedom that game designers have given up on a while ago, as generated worlds and their interactions with players proved pretty complicated.

part of the secret of these games are a coherent, good design, and tools given to the player which arent all about archieving the goal (why can you change the landscape in MC?). that gives a feeling of reality, where you can do lots of stuff too, without everything being focussed on a single goal.

so now we keep imitating exactly these old games because they worked out at least. but we have stepped down from wanting it all.

ah well i wont complain, ill buy every damn remake they throw at me :)

Just pressed the Buy Button. As the other guys here I really love (not loved ;) ) Magic Carpet. So in addition to my money please take these words as motivation. ;)
Thanks for the chance to see this little piece grow. Keep up the good work (and add Invert Y-Axis).
This Magic Carpet Inspiration has so much potential and finally the day has come where someone did it. :) So I close with just one Word: Thanks!

a few weeks ago i was discussing with a friend what nice games there have been that really would need to be remade with modern graphics and a few new features...well didn't take long until both of us talked about how much fun magic carpet was and there sadly is no remake on the horizont...

than i found this *bigsmile*

[Seinat]

I found this game because I was searching for a version of magic carpet to play. What an excellent game that was--one of the best ever; imaginative, great execution. I'll gladly spot these guys $10 if they are trying to make a successor to it.
