The Misadventures of Flink is a Jump'n Run set in the fantasy world of Imagica. The evil wizard Wicked Wainwright has captured the four elders and it is up to Flink, a wizard's apprentice, to set them free and defeat Wicked Wainwright. Apart from the usual platformer elements, the game has a unique feature: Flink's ability to create spells. Whenever the game is paused, Flink can combine three ingredients to create a spell. Ingredients can be collected throughout the game. They are usually carried around by a certain type of enemy or hidden in treasure chests. There are ten different spells, the „recipes“ which are contained in scrolls that are given to Flink by rescued elders or found within certain levels. The spells include different attack spells (for example a demon that accompanies Flink and attacks his enemies), a shield spell, a shrink spell, a quick grow spell that lets certain plants grow so that Flink can reach new areas of a level, magic keys that open locked treasure chests and more. Casting spells uses up magic energy that can be replenished by collecting magic bottles or defeating enemies. Similar to the Sonic games, when Flink is hit, he looses all of his magic energy and has only limited time to pick it up again. If he is hit while having no magic energy, he loses a life. www.Mobygames.com

Save the world from the bad guys by filling the shoes of an apprentice wizard. Flink begins with very few abilities (jump / attack and pick up & throw), but more are gained by finding scrolls and ingredients to cast spells. The problem is that the scrolls don't necessarily give you the ingredients (of which there are always three) in the right order, and if you get it wrong, you lose the items. The world and sprites are beautifully animated, an wonderful example of 2D bitmap art considering the limitations of the Mega-CD hardware. The usual CD-quality audio is provided and the levels are suitably varied. The only gripe is the control of Flink himself - whilst he does pick up speed as he continues to move in one direction, it still feels just a little too slow. That aside, Flink is an excellent platform adventure. www.sega-mega-cd-library.co.uk
