I've been playing games since the 70's, and have 35+ systems and 1,000's of games. I got the Neo-Geo in November, 1990, as an 18th birthday present (yes, I was spoiled, deal with it it's not my fault). The third game I got was Magician Lord. I noticed after a bit of searching there doesn't seem to be any fan appreciation sites. Well, after downloading it on the Wii Virtual Console I can't understand why. This is a TRUE masterpiece. The graphics are stunning by 1990 standards. The soundtrack is equally incredible. It's also very challenging, while not impossible. This is a true perfect 10 game, and doesn't get anywhere near the credit it deserves. I personally believe it is superior to Ghouls N' Ghosts too. Let us use this thread as a Magician Lord appreciation thread. Share your thoughts on this one-hit-wonder, and talk about why a sequal was never made.
