One has to be quite tripped up on LSD and Shrooms to come up with a game idea like this : ) I played both when they came out. Although there's some incredible games these days, most of them don't quite set the mood and excitement that some of the older ones like Magic Carper, Elite, Midwinter, Carrier Command, etc etc etc did.
Great game, it's a shame that they released when this really needed a pentium and most people still had 386s. Would love to see this with modern day graphics. Shit, this is 18 years old!!
Loved this game! By today's graphic standards, makes my head hurt. Wish EA would release all the old classics with latest technology. Magic Carpet, Powermonger, Dungeon Keeper, Syndicate, Populous, etc. Basically all peter Molyneux/Bullfrog games.
Great game! Would like to see 'em make a new version with latest graphics etc. Maybe add to the gameplay a bit to keep it interesting in the later levels too. I always found adjusting the height of the thing was awkward too, maybe a slight improvement to the controls. Still epic!
Indeed one of the most successful and original games in every aspect, including the use of music. I wish people would still try to think new ideas for 3d (and other) games.

I hope GOG puts Magic Carpet 2 up for sale. I loved that game. This prequel was pretty good too, had it on the PSOne.

The 90's. When your PC's CPU is slower than a modern day printer's, sacrifices have to be made. Fog kept the framerate adequate.

@WebSurfinMurf You know, your wish has actually come true. Check out gog.com
They will begin releasing EA's old games. Magic Carpet is among the first, which will come out.
