Magic Carpet, remember that one?

Just seeing how long everyonehere has been a PC gamer. One of the 1st PC game that I was addicted to was magic carpet, one of the early games made on the Windows 95 OS. This game looked awsome for it's time, but it's actually kind of funny to watch the opening intor now, I remember that looking a lot better lol.

Anyway here is the intro and some of the gameplay. Hope this brings back memories :)

Actually I remember playing the demo on windows 3.1 ( pretty sure ) and yeah it looked really good at the time.SecretPolice

Yeah, I think you're right on that. That was my mistake. It was released in 94 and worked on both platfrms. I was a bit young at the time so I think you can forgive me on my mistake there :)

It was one of the greatest games of all time imho. I just wished the multiplayer ever worked ... that would have been awesome. (Or was it MC2 that had Multiplayer?) Nonetheless ... i still have the MagicCarpet 1 package standing in my gaming room. Nice to see people dont forget about great games!

I think i remember buying a 60 MHz pentium for that game :)

Never heard of it.

Edit: In fact, I thought you were talking about Steppenwolf.

lol, I hear ya. A gaming computer then when compared to one now is.....rediculous!! lol. Our frist Windows 95 pc was a Compaq and it was over $2000.00. We still havae it and the tower is about 3 times bigger than the current pc I'm using.

Yeah I remember that one. I had the PS1 version (or was it PS2?). I agree it was addictive but once I got to the higher levels I found it way more frustrating than fun thanks to the unbelievably cheap opponents.

I had this for the Saturn!

It had some really annoying music, but I remember how awesome the visuals were for the time!

Huh, never knew that it came out on the Saturn, but it did on the Ps1 though for sure. Yeah, this was the high end new tech stuff when it came out. Needed a "great" computer to fully take advantage of it's graphix and 8 player network support

There are still things that haven't translated through the generations though, like terrain morphing. Evey single piece of land could be manipulated through your powers. The only thing even close to what I've seen currentgen when compared to this is the new Force Unleashed "real" enviornments.

Yea I had it free with my first ever PC ... I thought it was awesome ... they should make more odd games like these, nowadays its all specificly crafter around certain aspects of the genres...

Look at Starfox .. they crippled it X_x ... buh buh nintendo needs platformer elements X_x
