   Let this arcade adventure transport you back to a land of breath-taking
beauty, where treachery and evil dominate.

   * SORCERY PLUS is a disc-based, enhanced version of the best selling
     game SORCERY. It allows you to access 75 atmospheric locations.

   * Carefully detailed graphics and animation combine with great music and
     sound effects in this action-packed game!

SORCERY PLUS takes you deep into the Dark Ages. The Evil Forces of the
Necromancer are creeping to every last corner of the ancient land that was
once the powerful domain of the Great Sorcerers.

In Chapter One you must work to free your fellow Sorcerers, who have been
entrapped throughout the land. When you have been successful in this you
will enter Chapter Two and finally confront the Necromancer face to face.

You must use all your resources to defeat his malevolence once and for all!

You must work quickly, travelling every corner of the kingdom, searching out
your fellow sorcerers. Only when they are released can you combine your
forces and overthrow the Necromancer. The many parts of the land you visit
hold certain objects which may or may not be of some use. Some will help and
some will deceive, some possess strange qualities. The scenery is not at all
as it appears in places and careful searching may reveal secret passages.

The freed sorcerers will unite in the Sanctuary where they will wait for the
golden day when you make your way to join them in your exalted place.

Once you have completed this you must then seek the Necromancer himself and
confront him in person.

As you move from room to room you will encounter various objects, some
useful, some essential and some deadly!

To pick up an object you must position the Sorcerer over it and press the
FIRE button. To use a weapon i.e. killing an evil demon or shooting your

find out by experience that you need certain objects to allow you to set in
action chains of events that allow you passage on your journey.

enerygy level. The time remaining to complete your task is illustrated and

and again in Chapter Two you are up against a time limit in which to defeat
