Let's explore this forgotten realtime strategy classic of battling wizards: Magic & Mayhem, as well as its contentious sequel, The Art of Magic.
Inspired by the 1985 classic Chaos: Battle of Wizards, for the ZX Spectrum and designed by Julian Gollop and Mythos Games, the creators of Chaos and X-COM: UFO Defense, this fantastic journey features a beautiful Celtic soundtrack, gorgeous claymation work and a dazzling spell-slinging adventure. But why has it fallen from the pages of video game history? And why were its merits abandoned for the more traditional Chaos: Reborn?
Let's find out together in this all-new episode of Not Forgotten.
