As the last release from the first batch of the huge deal with Electronic Arts, we’re giving you a chance to become a wizard that needs to save the world.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/magic_carpet]Magic Carpet is an extraordinary action shooter game from the acclaimed Bullfrog Productions. All magic wielders are battling between themselves for the most valuable resource (no, not oil) - mana. Casting huge meteor showers or invoking a terrifying thunder storm, one could summon a castle in the middle of an ocean or just create a volcano right on top of this little harmless village. If you’re not the type of guy that likes to let the hell loose you could always just throw fireballs here and there or just summon a massive skeleton army to plow your way through the plethora of hostile creatures. Apart from other wizards and genies fighting you over the oh so precious mana, you’ll encounter various fantasy monsters ready to devour you (like a hydra or a dragon) or convert mana into more monsters (like the crabs do ;)).

Apart from this awesome flying-carpet action you can slow down a take a look at the normal lives of the townsfolk to admire the normal day to day activities that the AI performs. And if we’re on the subject of AI, the one controlling the opposing wizards is exceptional even when looking from today’s perspective.
If you ever wanted to live the life of a carpet-zooming wizard now you can! Want to do much more than just sing-along “A Whole New World” with the prince and the princess? Then this is the game for you!
Sweet! :D
My life is complete!
I'm having a little happy cry atm.
Cute, although a Magic Carpet 1 & 2 pack would've been better.
I still might get this sometime though.

Now come on Syndicate!
Is this the original release or Magic Carpet Plus?
FUCK YEAH!

Now all we need is Magic Carpet 2 and forgotten worlds or whatever the expac is and I'm set!!!!!!!!
Yoink.

DosFreak: Is this the original release or Magic Carpet Plus?
Excellent question.
The description makes me think this is just the original Magic Carpet, but I would like an official answer.
Will have to wait a bit but I'm certainly getting it soon.
Lots of fun with this game :)

Edit: My guess is on basic version. Otherwise they would put info on the gamecard.

Stunning. The second best series to come out of Bullfrog (After Dungeon Keeper!). So far ahead of it's time no-one's quite caught up with it yet. Oh so many many happy hours blasting worms, casting fireballs and raising volcanoes...magnificent!
are those just bad screenshots or has the whole game that crappy graphics?
the third pic, is that a bird, a plane? or those fireballs...
I don't know why, but the screenshots for this make me REALLY wish that Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis were a part of the catalogue.
I haven't played this game in many years. Does it still hold up?
