The Magic Candle
Added by
mfischer1 In the game, players must assemble a group of six adventurers and journey across the kingdom of Deruvia to keep the demon Dreax imprisoned in the eponymous magic candle, which has begun to melt. The game's world includes several towns and cities, two castles, and several dungeons and towers. Unlike many video games, one wins not by defeating a final enemy, but by collecting the necessary items and learning the necessary chants in order to preserve the magic candle. Players begin with one adventurer, a human hero called Lukas. Additional adventurers can be found in the game's two castles. Much of The Magic Candle's fun derives from discovering exactly what is needed to preserve the eponymous candle.
Pessimeister014 Certainly a series I always wanted to play after friends told me stories about it. As an Ultima fan, it makes sense to see this game here as well. Less new modern games, more GOOD OLD GAMES!
helgraf Yeah, this game came out like a year after Ultima V; but it had several similar features, some of which were technically superior (particularly in what you could do with your party members who weren't in your "active party" and the ability to switch between teams more or less at will); others, yes, U5 handled better, but they were still present in this game (NPC scheduling, for example).
And the game had a lot of stuff we wouldn't see again in RPGs until much later. Herb gathering with limits and regrowth (but only if you left at least one behind - if you took everything, the herb field became barren for the rest of the game); limited monster placement, but with *seasonal* respawn; so they would return but only every 3 game months.... a teleportation system based on object combinations and needing to learn the formulas or be willing to waste the components guessing blindly. There was so much this game did well that just wasn't being done by *most* other RPGs of the time that I can forgive its graphical sins.
Lord_Of_Dragons Yes, please!
GoldenCavalier This one needs a bump for sure. Classic crpg series, spent many hours on them years ago. Add them and also Bloodstone prequel together in one bundle!
polob This would be an instant purchase!
thewatersupply I’ll buy it the moment it’s released. I’ve wanted to play it since I was 5 and read about it. Please!
complacentnation yes, please bring on Magic Candle and the Mindcraft games
Lutiy_Zadroter GoG sadly lacks a lot of old CRPGs, and Magic Candle is one of things I think first about what missing
scottnz I've been playing the old gold box games recently for the first time, and would love to try this one. I hope it gets added!
jcadiram Does anyone know if GOG has any plans to release this, or is this just a thread for dreamers?
silmwaren like many of the other commenters, ive been looking for the magic candle series for awhile. it is a wonderful series. it is very similiar to ultima 5. if u liked the ultima series, you will love this series.

JerryPotter I would love to see the Magic candle trilogy on GOG I wasted literally hundreds of hours playing this on my old 286 IBM computer I feel really old now LOL
Luminance666 Please add this game. Together with the SSI goldbox games the Magic Candle series were my favorites back in the days.
silmwaren I love this game and have been looking for it, for a long time. Its a game that many would love. Pure classic
jcadiram I remember spending hours on this game as a kid. I'd love to be able to revisit it and actually try and finish it!
Leevi Would be lovely to see a remake of this game, playing this old version might be hard, but looks like interesting game.
wwmyers It's already hardcore by making you eat, sleep, repair weapons, etc. It's hugely innovative in making TIME a limited resource. You have a limited number of days to complete the ritual. Do you travel to a far away city to investigate a rumor? Fight through a dungeon to gain necessary items? Include the strong but slow dwarfs in your party? Gain money by letting your party members work jobs in towns? Gain skills by spending money and time in training? Gain power by letting your mages spend time memorizing spells? Dare to split the party to try many things at once?
massplus Very good game. Never went far, but reminiscent of Ultima 4-5... Only gripe is the somewhat cumbersome controls when you split your party but other than that, wow, this game could deserve a remake someday!
ApathyJesus How are these, and Bloodstone: An Epic Dwarven Tale not here yet??
Pulluxx These games are incredibly well-written and even though combat can be a pain, the freedom in the game more than makes up for it. I would like to see all games on Gog, in my heart they are all amazing :)
joedeangelo Would love to see the Magic Candle games on GOG!
AlexWalex One of my all-time favorite rpgs. I'm sure the interface and gameplay would aggravate at times today, but I'd buy it on day 1 ... just the warm and fuzzies I get thinking about how fun this was to play back in the day...man, I still remember the first time I saw the animation of my guys crossing a rope bridge !! Almost fell out of my chair, what !!!
This game oozes charm, lots to explore, splitting your party up, getting jobs to earn money...a classic, imho.
