Slightly Magic was a Puzzle/Platform computer game published in 1991 by Codemasters for the Zx spectrum and Commodore 64.


Story

Bigwiz the wizard has left the castle in a hurry and has been a big forgetfull. He forgot to pack his spare wand, he forgot to lock his laboratory door and forgot to take his nephew Slightly with him. To make matters worse, a sunburnt dragon has run off with the Princess Croak and the spell cabinet has been knocked over spreading the spells everywhere.

Gameplay

The gameplay in slightly magic was closely related to the gameplay of Dizzy. You start off with no equipment and have to explore the area to find items and solve puzzles, but Slightly Magic expanded this idea by allowing the use of spells to solve puzzles. you must collect the ingredients and the correct spell word to cast a spell, which would allow you to solve a puzzle (for example, a fish spell to turn into a fish and swim in water)
