This game is one that brings back younger childhood memories. Colours being so intense and graphics being of the highest quality I have ever seen in that era of gaming. The game has a simplistic idea of catching monsters in a sack. Yes, this may sound dull, but as a young child there was nothing I loved more than to play on this game.
Magic Boy progresses through 8 different worlds each with 6 levels. Each world has a different colourful theme.

Magic Boy progresses through 8 different worlds each with 6 levels. Each world has a different colourful theme. The music seems to me to be fun and bubbly and incites you. Sometimes I thought I was magic boy, in a little world of my own. The game obviously, to a professional critic would not reach standards of gaming today,
but in my opinion this is my favourite game of all time. An ideal game for children growing up, it is one of a kind.
With bonus levels to add a bit of variety the game does not seem to get boring, although the idea is slightly repetitive through the levels. I have not yet completed it, meaning it’s not the easiest of games either, the game would be ideal for the younger generation, that like a challenge. However, all these memories of the game are a long way back in the past, (about 12 years perhaps) and nowadays a young gamer may not look twice at this game. Maybe the lack of gore and the general happiness around the game is too depressing for our children of today. However if you are a gamer that respects the retro era then I would say to find this genres all time best game you would have to find magic boy.
Yes the game is simplistic, but I was hooked from the beginning and this is why now 12 years on I am still searching for this game. When I first played it I got to the 12th level, the reason I am back now is to conquer the legend that is magic boy and complete the whole game, and without doubt I will try and succeed until I do succeed. I have also heard rumour that there is something special at the end of the game and maybe this is what draws me back to magic boy. I hope today's children will look at this and appreciate it as a good game because it is wasted if they did not. I would put magic boy up with the all greats such as Mario, sonic, and many, many more. If I try to imagine my life without this game I feel disappointment.
