Amiga Longplay [034] Simon The Sorcerer

[WhySoSeriouuus]

Thank goodness I found this...my game went missing when I was young and I always wondered how it would have turned out.

[bravotwozero007]

ha ha had this for cd-32 great game, very funny

[mikeangle123]

2:14.00 i love those two devils, i forgot about them

[ofirharlev]

there's a pair of scisorseseseseseseses in here

[ZekaChi]

This is my favourite game ever. It has such wonderful soundtrack and its graphics are truly a work of art. With all the sorcery, the word to describe it _is_ 'magical' :) .

[THEsyntheticFresh]

i want to return to my room taking hours playing with my amiga 500 plus at this game

[theGaminggrounds]

Thanks alot for uploading this man. It made me remember my childhood =) such great memories!

[Losrae]

I can't believe I really watched it all through. XD

[CarnivorousStorm]

Is that Rimmer?

[SAMagic]

@CarnivorousStorm It is indeed Chris Barrie voicing Simon, yes. :)

[CarnivorousStorm]

@SAMagic Thank you. I thought I recognized that voice.

[mikeangle123]

@CarnivorousStorm i thought that when i was a kid, its gotta be....... smeg

[myboytheharp]

my childhood has arrived

[yzbi]

Chriss Barrie is awesome.

[Moggywhitesocks]

This is one of my favourite childhood games :)

[kekpafrany]

Hi, I am looking for the music of this game. Do you have any idea where and how could I get it?

It soulded strange running it with Scumm or Dosbox.I used to play it in my childhood and I remember different... This amiga version is similar.

[cubex55]

@kekpafrany

Read our channel FAQ - you will find download links there :)

[kekpafrany]

@cubex55 Thank you :) I have found it now :)

[Viic88]

i got this on amiga and now on my psp. great game. :)

[pirategirl0002]

that's one big hat! lol

[AlvinYTP]

2:09:10 - Oh Poooo!

[kahuna3901]

just about my most favourite game that i played too young, i just couldnt understand some of it, like what to do next. wish i could have a crack at it these days

[kistajk]

@viktorhat Thanks. I ended up trying but not liking it as much as Monkey Island. Much prefer King's Quest and Broken Sword :)

[kistajk]

@Acejuice hmmm.. not sure.. But if you love this kind of games, try Broken Sword or King's Quest too :)

[akkudakkupl]

i love this one and the sequel :-) almost as much like MI 1,2&3 (i know i know i should name them after the subtitles :D)

[julijundrius]

I loved the atmosphere that surrounded one when playing, no matter how wonderful the graphics nowadays can look, those were good times. the music also so lovely... the 2nd one i had too...b ut this time in spanish, qué idea taaaan peregrina!!!

[DavidKuhn83]

maby it is possible to become the Soundtrack of Simon the Sorcerer?

i meen of the Areas in the Game.

In the Village in the Wood ore in the Sky up @ the Dragon ?

[garagon31]

It is really weird hearing Rimmer voicing this kid.

[Madskillsnick]

i fucking love this game and im 20. best music ever

[samsungs5200]

wtf a game?:))

[Shavarnarak]

The voice acting... well it could have been worse but it doesn't really impress me either.

[Allnamestakenzomg]

Christ.. i never knew it had sound, i played it without.. And i didn't even have the Manual which give you the codes to start the game, something like Broom icon equals which direction, So i made my own.. i was that desperate!

[rimeligfjern]

miss my cd32

[brettgo]

I did some of the voices for this !! had totally forgotten. Mental !!

[desiv1]

@brettgo Sweet! Thanx for being involved. It was/is a great game...

[DavidKuhn83]

Cult !

[JakFrostwolf]

this was the first game i played on the pc, i was like 4 or 5 yo :P

but my dad helped me^^

[NETTOUH]

Stinky The Quality

[cubex55]

@DamnationUK

No this is the AMIGA version - as it says in the video title!

[moviegamemassacre]

RIMMMER

[gertthegamer]

I used to play this on my old windows 3.11 but I never had any voices. Only sound.

[VHDT10]

Gives me goose bumps. These were the best games I've ever played. God Of War and Dante's Inferno... very close seconds :P haha. No but I loved these games more than anything. King's Quest, Space Quest, Hero's Quest, Monkey Island, Police Quest, and now we have.... PEASANT'S QUEST!!! The Brothers Chaps kick ass.

[boselectaboy2]

best game ive ever played shami cant play it anymore :'(

[0krufka0]

thanks for that, I've got the simon trilogy but the first part crashes every few minutes. It became too much of a chore to play. I can see how it ends now ;)

[tzibu]

I remember owning this game on Amiga500 in 1994. Still love the music, the humour and the general athmosfere

[sunnypiper]

This and Monkey Island were my two fav games back in the day, love it!!

[Hitman018]

love this game

[Shazbut01]

But...but...1:56:00 is straight out of Sword in the Stone. Even the dialogue is the same!

[fizzywizzy2006]

why is he an american in the later games?

[InfernalNightfaery]

@fizzywizzy2006 The first three games were done by Adventure Soft, after that it was done by some European company. Apparently the latest one is terrible and a far cry from the original magic.

[WNivek1]

@fizzywizzy2006 Because they couldn't get Chris Barrie back to do the voice, most likely.

[28steryan]

This is my favorite point & click!

[asafaqua]

I still have the original CD :)

[Skullgrin140]

Classic game, I think its about time this got the same treatment as Monkey Island, A release for Next Gen consoles.

[Trixstien]

I beat this game in 2 hours only, I also completed the STS 2 game in 2 hours.

[Dosgamert]

Howcome this video has a duration of 2 and a half hour? Great game! I rather play the non-talkie version.

Bart.

[Dosgamert]

Q: How can you upload videos longer than 10 minutes?

A: Anyone who registered a directors account in 2006 can upload videos of any length.

------------

Wish I had too. :(

[kistajk]

Hi, I already have Monkey Island Special Edition for iPhone and am considering to get this game too for my iPhone. Do you think it's as good as Monkey Island? I love adventure games and the art style, but not sure about the humour and the gameplay itself.

[cubex55]

Its not as good - but still good :)

[kistajk]

@cubex55 Thanks, I agree. I bought Broken Sword and it's great!! Better interface than Monkey Island (talking about the iPhone version).

[topbluffa1]

how would you put this on your iphone?

[kistajk]

@topbluffa1 Umm.. by buying it on the AppStore? I don't recommend it though, I tried it but just couldn't get into the game. If you want to play adventure games on the iPhone, try Broken Sword, it has the best interface. And as a game it's one of the best ever too (along with Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island and King's Quest).

[fgs887]

@kistajk I think it´s even better... I enjoyed it way more than monkey island... the jokes are better if you want my opinion!

[Pocketim]

Questions

1: How forgiving are the puzzles?

2: How long will the game last the first time you play through it, and don't know what to do?

3: What is the better adventure game, Secret of Monkey Island, or this?

I've recently been getting into adventure games, I played a Sam and Max episode a while back (Abe Lincoln Must Die) and I'm currently playing Myst. So now I'm deciding what to get next.

[jups123]

One of the best adventure games ever!

[RunningFlavour]

i think, my version also had only text... must have been without speech, it was on a few floppy disks. :) was it 6 or 12? don't remember...

[cubex55]

9 disks is the floppy version.

[tjCooper88]

Simon owns Monkey island, both good games but... do you get Arnold rimmer on Monkey island..? I think not

[Nex126]

what the combat air patrol games.

[Eternalwanderer]

-Sighs- i really miss these games. Monkey Island series, LOOM, Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2 (never played the 3rd) , the Discworld games...

Shame these sort of games aren't really made anymore! I grew up on these! :D

[DRUMandBASSwithPACE]

number 5 is coming out soon.

[superfuntimehappy]

Get the scummvm program free on the internet; download the game pack from a torrent site and you can play away until your heart's content. I'm revisiting old favourites and discovering new gems.

Highly recommend; takes very little time, costs no money and incredibly nostalgic

[simonthesfan]

For all of you who like the Simon S music.. i found a band called Monkeys from hell . they have a song called wizard that uses some bit from simon the sorcerer game.. so search for Monkeys from hell wizard

[diabaloth]

i had weeks even days playing this game it was the best adventure game ive ever played takes me way back to my childhood fkn miss the game so bad any ideas if they are bringing 1 out for the 360 or ps3?

[ShoeMage]

Ye Olde Spell Booke

[BeWaTer99]

Indeed, I've played LOTS of graphic adventures and those from the early 90's were actually the hardest... :P

Sierra > tricky and weird

Electronic Arts > sometimes hard to figure out, like, for example, in Maniac Mansion 2 you have to push the speakers in order to obtain the fake vomit... :S :S S:

[BeWaTer99]

Playing it once again :-)

I remember having finished this game when I barely was 5, 6 years old...

Captivating, fun, "hooking"...

[IheartFreedom]

i wish i had a huge barbarian as my bff

[topbluffa1]

ME THOR !

[emanuel82]

Fantastic game. Its in the top of adventuregames together with Monkey Island. On my version there is no voice only music.

[2pacalypsenow]

my version had no voice either, it had text! loved this game... and the monkey island games (well the first two)

[lollobello]

Love the main theme. Best extra-LucasArts Adventure, and one of the best ever

[gwomp66]

I didn't know he was 12! Aw, sweet! Imagine being that young and so... Sarcastic...

[paidovouvalo]

Hi all i am from greece and i used to play a lot with my amiga...I have it now in front of me and i still play..I have 450 games..Rick dengerous,vroom,dune 1,2,settlers..

[RockAgainstAss69]

Holy crap, I used to play this on my dads amiga. Just the demo, couldnt get past the dwarfs in the cave haha. Its a shame the new ones are terrible. 1 & 2 are amazing.

[j0nas055]

this was one of my first game's ,, it was a good game for its time.

[reallycoolman2003]

you can download it as a torrent, just search simon the sorcerer torrent, ull find it! also ull need scummvm to play it

[gwomp66]

I used to have this.

Anyone know where I can download it?

[Saufbruader]

I love that sound. :)

Best Adventure in my opinion.

[joshdajedi]

i have completed simon 1 and 2 and they r amazing but i cant install it cus my comp dont support nt i am sad

[cubex55]

If it's the PC versions you are trying to play, you might need DosBox if you are playing them on a modern computer. Or maybe you would like to play the Amiga version (which these movies are)?, then you need the emulator: WinUAE... for help on how to set it up and how to get the games etc, visit our irc channel (info in our channel FAQ)

[InfernalNightfaery]

@cubex55 If you go onto the Adventure Soft site there are patches that help play the game.. good luck!

[zechert]

can i download this game from anymore??

plz

[SlickWillieMcGoo]

I still remember the music... really liked it back then in the 90s.... thanks for uploading#

[AnonNov]

me too, I sometimes find myself humming it.

[dumbasspauldentonkin]

My cousin cried tears of happiness when I got this working in scummvm on her XP

[revcom301]

Wow! Chris Barrie of Red Dwarf fame voices this! Makes it even better!

[revcom301]

Hey the title text style looks like the one in Lord of the Rings!

[embsay]

any one no where i can download this for vista

[nodgie1]

I bet this game took ages to load with all the voices

[cubex55]

Nope, it was on CD.

[we6jbo]

I remember playing this game not too long ago.

[Daichi82]

I LOVE this game, i used to play it when i was a kid. I miss those good games like Monkey Island, Sam & Max and the Indiana Jones games with great stories, now its all about good graphics.

[simon2909]

This is not the amiga version... the amiga version had better graphics and did not have voice over...

[cubex55]

This IS the Amiga version, it was recorded with WinUAE!

[jo979]

Yes it did! I still have the original game in the box and I used to play it on my Amiga. It was the first 'talkie' game I ever had. I've now got the new XP version so can still play it today! You can buy it on Ebay or Amazon I think. (Got mine from Ebay)

[Bistol13]

Sorry there will be no sam and max playthrough. my cd got scrached recently

[primalconvoy]

Simon 4 is rubbish! Hes AMERICAN??? WTH? AND the creators who posted the advert have banned comments. Wonder why, eh readers?

[7335409]

It was so beautifull...great amiga!

[Linlymes]

yes, Monkey Island 1 was of course better, but I really like the humour, music and graphics in simon 1. Maybe i should give simon 4 a chance.. :)

[DietzThought]

my.. i love this game

[outspan87]

best game ever!

[XavierAsmodae]

i wonder if anyone has watched this in full - i'm going to!

[DavidKuhn83]

i have look the full video some month agoo, too^^

[DavidKuhn83]

@DavidKuhn83 and today agoo^^

[nadita5600]

Great game for a mobile phone with touchscreen

[Bistol13]

I do think monkey island is atot better. Actuly my favorate poit and click is sam and max hit the road. You wont beable to fine a speedrun or longplay. I might put one up.

[blahdiddy2006]

If you put up a longplay,that'd be AWESOME!

[Bistol13]

Sorry my computer crashed and I git it to run scummvm or winuae.

[Bistol13]

Actuly I need one because I keep getting stuck at the vortex.

[tylerdurden2006]

Yeah exactly the same as you. Point and click adventures really are the best kind of games. There are some fantastic newer ones about, like Syberia

[belzigermusel]

this was my first computer game, actually. back then I was five years old and my computer was a windows 3.1 XD but it's just the BEST adventure game I've ever played, though a bit difficult, I think I've finished it at the age of 15 or something, when Walkthroughs got available in the internet^^'

thanks for your work, this video is great *_* I love Simon.

[cubex55]

Save yourself all the trouble and download ScummVM :)

[quicker2006]

if anybody has problems running this game on there new pc. just go on the net, type in scumm on yahoo and download it, problem solved!!! this programme works wonders

[sanjibai]

This was from the Golden Era of games... Games have never been so good... Seeing/hearing this makes me want to build an old DX486 box so I can play all those classic games I grew up on... Thanks sooo much for uploading =)

[AkiraToriyama1983]

I'm italian, but i've played it too! Wonderful Game that i'll never forget... Thanks, Simon! Thanks, Adventure Soft!!!

[onirorama]

hai giocato alla versione in italiano?? quella col mitico "levati dalle palle" detta al nanetto che da qualche parte bloccava un passaggio? :) mitico!

[AkiraToriyama1983]

Sì la versione con i personaggi "muti" e i sottotitoli in italiano! :P se non ricordo male il "levati dalle palle" era riferito al Troll che bloccava il passaggio sul ponte, in seguito pestato dal barbaro al quale abbiamo levato la spina dal piede! :D

[onirorama]

eheh, mitico, a me sembra un'altro "levati dalle palle" lo diceva pure all'entrata della grotta dei nani. Io ricordo che anche il 2 era simpatico, ora lo vorrei ritrovare... la vedo dura per mec :S

[AkiraToriyama1983]

Io ho giocato anche a quello di recente, dopo aver saputo da anni che esisteva... Ora sto per provare il numero 4 appena uscito, mentre il 3 a quanto ne so è stato un flop :P

[onirorama]

ma tu hai ancora in giro l'uno e il due?? :D sai dove si possono trovare? Il quarto ho scoperto solo ora che esiste! tenterò di capire dove trovarlo! :)

[AkiraToriyama1983]

Dovresti cercare in giro tra gli abadonware (giochi vecchi con diritti d'autore scaduti) :P

[gnamp]

this is a work of art

[magicianspirit]

Yeah, I thought there was a 10-minute limit.

[nybblesandbits]

Hahaha!

I hear Simon talk, and all I hear is Arnold Rimmer!

[jci10]

Gosh, Simon awfully looks and sounds like a Harry Potter...

[xellothx]

only that simon was there BEFORE harry potter,so harry looks and souns like simon.

though simon is much more fun

[FinalFreek]

i've got this and played it i love it becuase i can see how it takes the mick out of all fantasy. my fav bit of the game is where you've got to block up the bards sousaphone which he's playing badly with a watermellon of all things

[Shadowcurser]

Back when pixels were beautiful :( I miss my friends' Amiga now...

[mmmmmmmac]

One of my few claims to fame - my big bro was part of the team who wrote the music for this absolutely fantastic game. Just love this game. If only it still worked on my computer! ARGHE!

[BGSlopy]

Find a imulation and it will work .

[Wyldephang]

I remember my half-brother coming down from Canada and bringing this game with him. This movie brings back a lot of memories. There's something unique about games like this; in place of an abundance of gore and fighting, there's humor and jokes. It plays more like watching a comedy film, but it wraps you up for hours on end.

[quicker2006]

at 23 years old i grew up on games like this, beneath a teel sky, simon the sorcerer, monkey island etc. its a shame really

these days games like this just get forgotten about, apart from a select few people of course, every time i boot this game up and i hear that theme tune, i feel like a born again kid

[ebcRock]

can anyone tell me where to donwload the song that plays in the game?

[cubex55]

Try amigamusic com :)

[briafromxbox]

is somin for the Amiga my copy is for windows 95 and 98 a fun game

[joshdajedi]

i had simon the sorcerer 1 and 2 and now i cant find them but i am gonna look top to bottom for them

[AemornielSilveroak]

Makes me feel like playing it once again ^^

[DavidKuhn83]

when im old i want drunk whit this Wizzards in the Pub

[Q3t3sh]

Ahhh good times :)

[flibble3333]

i cant imagine chris barrie doing this!(probably cause im so used to him in red dwarf and brittas empire)

[izzygraze]

Oh man, this was the first video game I've ever played.

[twinster0]

I miss the old days with this kind of games. A lot more personality in this games. monkey island, hand of fate, malcolm's revenge. jut can keep on going. *nostalgic*

[spectre900]

ahh, where did all these good ol game go? can't find anything like em these days... *sigh*

say, do anyone know of any good game like this for the PC or PS2?

[PiepMiau]

Yeah! Simon the Sorcerer!

[DavidKuhn83]

...ja es gibt auch Pc Versionen.

Meine läuft nur auf Windows 98 ..grr.

ist aber gekaufte, net runtergeladen.

viel glück beim suchen und finden ;)

[DavidKuhn83]

@ bangladesh

Ja runterladen kannste das an vielen stellen wenn bischen suchst.

Dumm is nur , das du warscheinlich Amiga Dateien runterladen tuhst.

Damit das auf deinem Pc dann aber läuft

brauchst du einen Amiga "Emulator".

Das ist ein Programm das Amiga Spiele auf Windows laufen lässt.

...

da ich mit dem Emulator-Program nie zurecht kam kann ich nur darauf verweisen, aber nicht erklären wie das weiter funktioniert.

[bangalesh]

Wo kann man das legal downloaden?

[DeNiBukiC]

i liked the music when i was little

[calibra16vuk]

haha i loved this game music brings back so many memories. Never did compleat it though

[BGSlopy]

Where did you get the dam jar i cant find it enywhere?

[BGSlopy]

Even today the grapics are very beatifull!

[multimedia11]

Ah the game is best! I just played it trough. Damn, didnt remember it was that damn good.

I got both of them in legal copy, bought it years ago from shop that had both Simon The Sorcerer I & II in one. :).. Sad that what I have heard about Simon III that it sucked bad.. (The real name is "Simon the Sorcerer 3D, if Im not mistaken)

[callumshotmail]

That's correct! Looking forward to Simon the Sorcerer 4 English version though!

[DavidKuhn83]

Ohne Komplett-Lösung hätte ich das nie geschafft^^

[M3L0kY]

a mi ese juego no m va mierda con lo bueno que es

[fandebond]

Yo e conseguido que me funcione,xo sin sonido :( cmo pierde el condenado. ojalá lo reediten.

[M3L0kY]

yo tamb lo e conseguido sin sonido y pierde vastante

[SoTrinity]

i love this game

[scrumpled]

One of the best games ever.
