Hocus Pocus

[Pyryper]

old school, my first game

[broadwayjunkie12]

OMG!.. i played this when i was younger... :> i miss you hocus pocus..

[Fritters87]

I remember discovering the install file for this game on my Mum's computer with utterly no idea how it got there, or what it was. It then went on to be (I believe) the first game I ever completed.

[azebuski2]

Ohhh damn, I stumbled across this watching old pc game vids. Ahhh, the memories! Who else is old enough to remember downloading these shareware games from a local bbs?

[extraMAYOporfa]

[21cup]

[burlong01]

I was always scared shitless to do the 3rd level. The scary one with the demon dogs that charged at you.

[matheuscyrus456]

OMFG I MISS THIS GAME D:

[mollyrulz9999]

@serverguyxx I think if you get windows 98, you don't need dosbox, considering dos is already a part of the 98 OS

[4444pali]

i hope i can play this game right now..

=(

someone plzz help me..

[SilviMercury]

mi sono commossa...che ricordi...quando si compravano ancora i cd-rom mamma mia avevo forse 6-7 anni!

[coopasan9]

GOT THIS FROM THE 100 AMAZING GAMES FOR KIDS CD

[SuperMiramis]

I still have this on cd, but no pc that support this game.

This game is better then the Zelda series..... This bring back good memories.

It`s the NO 1 Classic from the 90`s.

[mollyrulz9999]

@SuperMiramis Have you tried downloading DOSbox?

[griffiegrrltkd]

@SuperMiramis Try downloading DOSBOX and then you can play it again :)

[RyuJen10]

OMFG I REMEMBER THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sicklesickle]

Wow. If I watch this while listening to some 90's pop and grunge, it takes me right back.

After you're done watching this, go watch the speedrun of The Journeyman Project Turbo!! And listen to the music as well :D

[chibifelisje]

i still like the intro today as i did in my childhood =^_^=

[ToxicBarrel]

[GreetTheSacredCow]

Best platformer of all time.

[Killjoy45]

[PytoX]

[PytoX]

this was so cool, commander keen was better though :D

[sandsjames]

this was one of my favorite platformers as a kid along with commander keen. that music brings back memories.

[BrianaDolan]

Me and my sister used to always play this game when we were little. Loved it!

[Reaperonatricycle]

I found this game among other old stuff recently and decided to play it again.. and then I realized how much I used to suck at platformers.

Still, epic game.

[chibifelisje]

i always loved the intro song .....and after so many years i still do just so epic

[NyghtshroudeTV]

I FUCKING LOVED THIS GAME

[tommy199033]

epicness i just found my cd with a few games from apogee ^^

[Nekhanimal]

MIDI kicks ass, I wish he'd used the SoundBlaster emulator

[XfStef]

this game used to kick ass

[nopushbutton]

Oh, gosh. I played the shareware version of this so much.

[MaxRideWizardLord]

Escuse me, what music launcher he uses??? Sound blaster or something else? my dosbox plays some shitty version of midi. But this sounds much volume and beutifull

[kd4adv]

I loved this game :)

[spanky489]

[mongoo456]

SUCH a good game :) 

[ES0DR550]

BEST GAME EVER

[nikekas]

I used to have this game on my old comp. Last time I played it when I was 9, in 2003.

But I could only play about 6~8 levels because it came as some commerical. And now that old comp isn't working anymore. But I really liked that game.

[7NWO]

Illuminati training : )

[TeamHeavySuck]

Wow! This takes me back a long long way!

[2migueis]

[CsRoland86]

[Fireproofretz]

classic

[Fretburner11]

omg i remember this game

same with jazz rabbit or something i forgot what its called

[ArrrPirate666]

Jazz Jack Rabbit. Greatest two games ever made. Along with Cosmo.

[KirmesAndroid]

@ArrrPirate666: Yeah, Cosmo and Hocus Pocus are among my favorite platform games as well. Though I always thought Jazz Jackrabbit to be somewhat harder than the early Apogee titles.

[CrazyTaxi2001]

Apogee rules

[rapisode1]

this game was one of the best, because it was shareware I couldn't play the whole game so I played the first level like a thousand times

[DarkHachuu]

I love you dude xD Thanks for posting~

[chibifelisje]

man i just love'd this game when i was little and i still do just love it man sure brings back the feeling of playing it again ^^

[xastor]

anyone remembers a game with this same engine? I played it like 10 years ago, but never found it again. It was more like a space/scifi environment

[nibelung34343]

@xastor captain keene

[omgnobrain]

this brought back memroies i never even knew i had...thans for this. <3

[Xarfax321]

This sucks, I have chased this game for a very long time.... And now I have it, but no music! :( Any suggestions?

[boffgirl]

man childhood game

[funkeroni]

I remember Apogee being synonymous with making the best games at the time...

[didy444]

this brings back memories of my childhood...I loved that game...

[danisl17]

[PlayF00tball]

I recommend "Doofus" similar to this but better!

[ChrYssbulanu]

''67 years to grow this beard'' xD

[M0deneseAdriano]

great game...it brings me back to my childhood

[SlayerDeathBathory]

it's not bad, just a little repetitive.

[fatesofgreedom]

I like the way you played. Very nice!

[constipationnow]

[Tinchoelmillo]

[nathan565]

Back in the day :)

[8deleted8]

the ultimate MS-DOS game!!

[AnonYmous17]

the music is so good! Especially level 5 :D

[francikika]

i want itttt!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Visu666]

aaaaah, childhood memories^^

[kinmanyuen]

This is when apogee released a nice 16bit like game. Good music/sound and vga graphics

[nutdpl]

was my most fav game music of all time lol

[countzarroff]

I remember this game!!!

[HllywHulk91]

lol, and the wizard: It took me 67 years to grow this beard, haha.

[HllywHulk91]

I loved this game. I love how the music went from scary to happy, hahaha.

[ner7x]

ohh i remember that game i played it when i was 5 too :D i probably sucked at as well :D

[Doyubi]

APOGEEEEEEEEEE!

[rainajaynee]

omg... i remember when i used to play that when i was like 5... haha i pretty sure i sucked at it :P

[felipe922]

This is so cool... i played this game constantly when i was 4. WOW i completely forgot about it until today, and hearing this music is fucking great!

[Pho3niXnz]

Apogee kicked ass, some of the best games of my childhood were made by them... I miss those days :(

[MaxRideWizardLord]

Apogee are good, but I don't know why they renamed to ID :p

[mouthmw]

They didn't rename themselves to iD. iD was active back then as well. Apogee became 3D Realms, which is now sadly, gone.. RIP 3DR.

[szaby33]

@mouthmw Yeah, Duke Nukem killed 'em.

No, not 'forever'. the original Duke Nukem 3D. It was so succesful, that they haven't bothered to release more shareware games. It's a pity, because their last two games Death Rally, and Stargunner (both released in 1996) were far greater quality, than their earlier console clones.

[JohnF30Music]

me too man.. i remember playing it when i was like 4-5 ... those were the days

[Teddybear419]

i was like 4-5 years old when i played this game. brings back good old memorys

[randcfan]

I loved this game sooo much, remember being 5 or 6 playing the shit out of it

[Reaperonatricycle]

another one of those great games of my childhood.. while Simon and Guybrush used only the mouse, this was my first button-mashing game. ^^

[nederwiet]

this game was fucking awesome !

[MaxRideWizardLord]

Does who know where I can download Hocus Pocus Musics?

[LellePrinter82]

try here:

mirsoft dot com

game music database

[MaxRideWizardLord]

it's a great game man! This a big nostalgia, I play in this in 3 years old :D

[BigBizzleShizzle]

god man i love looking at old games i used to play, man i miss those days

[DragonsQuest]

This is so nostalgic :D So incredible. I used to play this when I was about 6. My dad told me where on the computer I could find it, and played and played and played. In total I finished this game 2 or 3 times. I knew where to find all the bonus treasure and key combinations. So cool. I still have it, on my WindowsXP PC. And I still like it, more then some games that have been made in the last couple of years. The level with the big trees always made me so nervous, anyone remember that level? :D

[SPeacock]

Episode 2 - Level 9 (Boss Level).

[fingolfin89]

I just came nostalgia.

[CLimaPT]

Awesome soundtrack for that time.

[MJHazel]

I remember getting really far in this game when I was younger. Looking at the games that I was addicted to all those years ago compared to the ones that I am addicted to now... Computers sure have come a far way.

Very cool, brings back alot of memories.

[0096225121108105]

Nostalgia bomb.

[Borin81]

this was one of the games that came with my IBM 486 when i bought it from a friend sometime 1994, along with Might and Magic III.... ah the good times, 13 years old and not a care in the world besides games :)

[terenas5]

When I was three or four, my mother played this by night. She wasn't enough good to end the game by herself, I remember she awakened my brother (two years older than me) to ask him to jump some holes she wasn't able to xD

Thanks a lot for posting this video, it brought good remembers

[Siobhandoodles]

Oh my days! i LOVED this when i was a kid until my dad took it off the computer.

[hakkujyr]

I played that when I was like 5 years old.

[username1105]

I forgot to mention the "feelgood" or was it "feel good"? oh never mind it restored health to full.

[tanthei]

Was? Dude, I still play this game.X(

[hl2og]

Oh my... i would have nightmares if i would need to play it again =P . I wos actualy afraid of this game when i wos young.. i dont evin know why.. but it creeped me out for some reason xD

[ctomz]

OMG NOSTALGIAAAAAA!!

[BassHunta]

I got the registered version on my Windows XP pc.

Runs perfect with sound.

[koporcic]

lol i bought this on a 3½ floppy disk xD

[koporcic]

[ssjaken]

51/2 or 31/4.....31/2???

[RiCeTHEBACKSTAB]

so nostalgic

[AncientCoffeeBean]

I loved that game

[OentOent]

Could you upload the final Boss fight?

[cpthurme]

this game is amazing: graphics, atmosphere, puzzles, one of the best I played as a young boy :D

[TiNhAxO]

Woooooooooooo Hocus pocus que recuerdos =´)

[linuxlove4004]

i love this game, I have beaten the shareware version so many times... I even got sound working on my old WinME computer!

[stillirise83]

Whoa! Blast from the past! In a major way.

[kingrohan6]

hey whats ur sound and music configuration mine sounds dull and non interactive

[turdeemi]

this game was so great..

[lokiquasar]

i got this game for 5 bucks and london drugs when i was little.  loved it! that, and commander keen

[Disgracefool]

I had this game when I was young. the full version in a box. I've since disposed of the disc itself but I still do have the manual as proof :D

I remember going all the way to the end. and the white potions which made you fire like a machine gun. and there were cheats for that but the cheat for the 'machine gun' pot wasn't as good as finding the real thing.

[mshanesc86]

Lol yeah for sure like I remember one cheat, I forgot what it did, but the code is "banana." Man this game, biomenace, blake stone, and I know I'm for getting some but all those old school apogee games. Dude brings back great memories.

[p6mkq]

Cool.

Brings back memories.

I have beaten those 10 crazy monks(ep 1)

and 4 trees.(ep 2)

But never those nasty dragons(ep 3)

or the grand wizard... (ep 4)

[slucchi723]

I have REALLY loved this game when I was young!

thanx for the vid!

[Mrgyn]

Oh the memories! Thank you for the nostalgia.

[thiagotecnico]

APOGEE

[unwanteduser99]

almost 15 years since i played this game! good stuff!

[jugular911]

Simply brilliant game - used to play it when I was very young with my friends, older brother, younger sister and cousins, along with a heap of other cool games like the oldest Duke Nukem, Maths Rescue :D

[Sonyvoice]

Freak !

HAHA :)

[robinkoeman]

This is a great game!

[Vyo]

yah I had the damo, I always wanted the fulll version ... :(

[Xarfax321]

I played this last time when I was a kid... I hope to get my hands on it again, to install it on my computer, and make it work. Its so nostalgic... Does anyone know HOW you make old games like this work on a todays computer, with sound and all?

[PencilPusher93]

Well, there are two options, you can download DOSbox, [an emulator which makes the classics compatable and with great classics] or you can get VDMsound. All in all, they're both brilliant emulators. :}

[rocksandfossils]

i love this game! i still have it and play it occasionally.

[Gyrbun]

Pure nostalgia!!! I only have ever had the demo... Never did find the full version... My sis and I totally loved it tho :p The plotline was something like, you messed around with some of the master's shit or summit.. I only vaguely remember... This inspires me to play it again :p

[zuhutay]

I loved this game, graphics were so detailed and varied. I only played the shareware but at this time, demos were long enough to get bored.

[Byla]

I only ever had the demo, so I had only the first 9 levels... but it did rule. ^_^

[Heffasta]

that wizard guy is such a pessimist, "sure you found the secret room you still doomed to failure" well stuff you old wizard.

[ScornedbySara]

So what was the storyline for this game again? I know there wasn't much of one, but there was a plot outline I seem to remember.

[ScornedbySara]

I completely forgot about this game! Thanks for digging it up!

[LochNessPanda]

this game rulez!

[jwj1987]

Another lovely DOS platformer. This game really has some great music.

[lewisty]

remember playing this when i was a kid, good fun :P

[DeadRaymanWalking]

So do I. The first level music has been programmed into my cellphone as a rather feeble ringtone though -_-
