I agree with many others that the main reason I kept coming back to this game was the music. My all-time C64 favourite music. I can listen to it over and over.
I never saved Gimbal the Wizard from his out white spell, too hard, the music got me back again all the time to try. Damn Samsun and Oric the Clerik...
Curse this game... It used to have me hooked for ages, and I'd never ever get all that far before running out of health... Same with all the White Knight games, but always kept playing - Especially loved the music.
I always loaded this game from tape just for the music, I never mastered the annoying micro-managing of keeping the sleeping people alive. The wand of command atleast made it possible to make them sleep and be still. The glowing bottle was the health drink, if you gave and then took it from the first elf you saw it kept you alive, and the teleport pad was useful, as I left it where the first elf guy was so as to teleport there when health dropped. The spells were hard to fathom too.
@Simpson654 Nobody on the planet could get through this game for the same reasons. I was amazed to see that there was a Spectrum longplay of it (complete with ending) that I was lucky enough to find and upload.
Last.

This is the song composed by Rob Hubbard on SID, the sound interface device of Commodore 64. Hugely great synthesizer chip.

The NES's z80 powered sound couldn't hold a candle to this.

@SquareWaveHeaven I never much bothered with the games where Rob Hubbards songs played. I just loaded them up to listen to his music.

This isn't the same version that was on the Amstrad CPC 64 version of Spellbound, i prefer that one.
Brings back memories and shiver down my spine playing this game once again on an emulator!

You can download the sid file for this. Then there's a module for winamp - something like sidamp to use to listen to sids.
