I would play this on my computer as a kid and get transported into a whole new world. I’ll never forget how this game made me feel and hearing the music makes me so emotionally nostalgic.
feel the same way except for the first discworld game, which is basically an extensively improved version of this game with better visuals, music, characters acting and comedy. Way harder to get through though
Same for me. I think i was about 7 years old back then... Sometimes i think 'i really should play that game again before i become old and senile' you know.. and then 4 years has passed and i think about the same thing again 😟 time flies so fast
I got to meet Chris Barrie at a convention last year. Such a cool guy :D He was there for a Red Dwarf talk but he was so amused when I mentioned this game! He had such a laugh making it from the sound of it :)
Of of the most important point to notice with this game, as well as Monkey Island and other golden age point-n-click, is the music ! This is a main condition to make a game unforgetable, i was very young but i'll never forget these games, the atmosphere is so familiar in my memories. Never underestimate the power of good sounds and music !
@Crash Headroom I first played STS on a Windows 98 machine with an AWE64 ISA card installed. SB16/Adlib MIDI was ghastly but the AWE wavetable synth had a certain charm about it. Although the quality isn't up to that of a hardware MT-32 it has a certain charm about it with the general midi mappings completely wrong.
My first game on PC was Monkey Island 2, followed by Broken Sword and Simon the Sorcerer. Still in love with adventure games to this day. As I only know them as their German versions I am having a blast revisiting them in their original language.
I loved it too. Got the demo in 1995. Bought the full game in 2002. Coincided with me becoming ill will anxiety and depression in '02. Gave me an outlet
I bought this game in floppy version at a newspaper stand (budget release here in Italy) and immediately liked it. The backgrounds and the music are very nice! Playing it with friends on my old 386 was a joy! Thumps up, way up! Thanks for sharing!
True. It was a special kind of fantasy with weak but witty and cunning main characters. Kind of like a Disney Pixar movie but with comedy and an actually clever main character
i used to play this with my dad whenever i stayed at his when i was around six years old. we enjoyed playing it together and would constantly quote the asparagus jelly scene to each other. now im almost 15 and this game popped into my head again and have nothing but happy memories of it. until i can afford to get the actual game im going to have to watch a play though since i can't properly see my dad anymore but i can't wait to get hit by nostalgia :'((
Really great to see this through, I used to play this on my nan's PC when my mum was working evenings when I was like 5-7, I never got that far but I remember trying this and sequel plenty of times, I still have the big box the two came in - now at 30 I can get *most* of the humour and appreciate it all properly!
i first played this game in my amiga 500 in 1994 .but I couldn't finish it because the game was broken. Then in 2004 I played on PC and finished it without any help. an amazing game. even best game i ever played.
I love this game, and i like the first much better than the second and quit partway through the third. 3D was not their friend at the time. but every time i replay this game or watch it replayed I find more and more adult humour that flew over my head as a kid.
I & II were both good games. I agree with you that STS1`was the better of the two. 3D was difficult to handle at best with lots of awkward arcade style sequences. Not good when the controls aren't up to arcade standard. 4 bored me completely and I've never look at later Simon games.
I’m 43 now but remember playing this on either my Amiga 600 or my Amiga cd32. Great game… this, Monkey island, curse of enchatra. India jones, broken sword games where fabulous…and still are in my opinion.
I remember back when this came out, when you bought the game there was a leaflet inside with a helpline that gave you tips if you got stuck :D I called it a couple of times.
I've played this game so many times...it's jus so beautiful...I might prefer it even over Monkey Island... Although Monkey 2 is probably the best point and click game ever
In this age of virtually realistic graphics I will never forget the feeling of atmosphere and immersion I had with this and other games as a kid in the 90s.
That was era of talent content creators, novel writers, heartful graphic designer, bit generation musicians and passionate developers. We all miss this, today even videogames like social media claim all or nothing in 30 minutes, but those were days
Everyone talks about Monkey Island, which is a classic of course, but nobody ever mentions this game. This is one of my earliest Amiga memories, though I was only watching my dad play it. What a nostalgia trip.
Hardcore gamer here and I have to say... these games were far better than they have now... they focus more on the flashy presentation... lacking substance. Not that there weren't bad games in the 80s and 90s but they were few and far between.
Just started playing through this game yesterday and this video was in a way the reason for it. Seeing this reminded me about what a great game this is. So thanks for that and also a great video to boot. Keep up the good work. 🙂👍
god everything about this game is great. Music is new enough to not just be ear bleeding noise, art is epic, VA's are great and the lines they say are fun.
Played it when it came out, so unique. Back then we also had Maupiti Island, Operation Stealth, Future Wars Time Travellers, all Delphine Software games were awesome; let’s not forget Loom as well, probably as great as Simon the sorcerer was. Pushing forty now and still playing them when feeling nostalgic..
Anyone who plays this game automatically gets a sub from me, this is my favourite game of all time, everything is perfect about the game! Child of 86 so i played the original lol
Oh god. I remember playing this as a kid and missing most of the references. My mom was probably lowkey horrified but I never asked about any of this. :D
No it really doesnt, not every perfect game has to be remade to be good, you cant fix what aint broken and thats how this game should stay, remakes always ruin classics. We need to stop this trend now.
I realize peridolia or however it’s spelled is a thing, but the rocks and trees in the background have been designed to occasionally look like faces, right?
Is it just me or does the object at the centre of the Celtic metalwork like border that divides the words ‘Simon’ and ‘the sorcerer’ look like the head of a Ferengi (from Star Trek)?
after a few goes I decided [just because I could & found a way] to buy the fake magical stuff from the Dodgy Geezer, it's still possible to complete the game if you do it, I also remember once beating the witch when she got 2-0 up
ok the video becomes unwatchable because of the ads you ve put.every 7 minutes or less.i understand you need to get paid for the work you re doing but 1 ad in such a little period of time is excessive

Me to! Also absolutely beautiful graphics
Same here. Had this on Amiga500.
Well-crafted pixel art ages like a fine vintage.
Love this game. Atmosphere is amazing

Must've been really fun! Did he say anything about the game?

Possibly my favourite game of all time. Wonderful atmosphere.
This must have been my first proper game, along with Monkey Island and Broken Sword... I'm now 20 and I'm still finding myself playing these classics!
That's because they're still good! that and the rose tinted nostalgia goggles.
my first games to=) but i am 39 now=)
My first game on PC was Monkey Island 2, followed by Broken Sword and Simon the Sorcerer. Still in love with adventure games to this day. As I only know them as their German versions I am having a blast revisiting them in their original language.
Simon The Sorcerer is so special to me.
Same here but I'm 43. Played STS and MI on Amiga 500 ;)
I played this on my Amiga CD32. This and Beneath a Steel Sky was the only games I needed for the console. Amazing games. I still love them.
Atmosphere is superb.
this gane was simply amazing. I never forgot using the fire extinguisher with the dragon to walkthrough. One of the best from my childhood
I loved it too. Got the demo in 1995. Bought the full game in 2002. Coincided with me becoming ill will anxiety and depression in '02. Gave me an outlet

THOSE were the games. Good old days :)
True. It was a special kind of fantasy with weak but witty and cunning main characters. Kind of like a Disney Pixar movie but with comedy and an actually clever main character
too true! 👌
@@magnusm4 I played this without the voice talent though in the 90's. You had to do it the old fashioned way....READ the dialogue.👍
My dad first brought home a floppy disk version of this game for me when I was just 8 years old! Almost 22 years ago!
i used to play this with my dad whenever i stayed at his when i was around six years old. we enjoyed playing it together and would constantly quote the asparagus jelly scene to each other. now im almost 15 and this game popped into my head again and have nothing but happy memories of it. until i can afford to get the actual game im going to have to watch a play though since i can't properly see my dad anymore but i can't wait to get hit by nostalgia :'((
Nostalgia ☺️

Man I miss these good old days remember this from my childhood
i remember playing this in the 90's on my dads Amiga, feels weird the memories
What a great sense of humour this game had. This and Monkey Island are adventure games that will never be bettered.
Can't get over how good Chris Barrie is
One of the finest adventures
I’ve been thinking about this game for YEARS but I forgot the name!!! This is so nostalgic ☺️
Masterpiece of a story

I played the game as a 10 year old knowing nothing about LotR. I appreciate the game so much more now.
I’m 43 now but remember playing this on either my Amiga 600 or my Amiga cd32.

this games hilarious, Chris Barrie makes an amazing voice actor. why'd they stop making them?
The third game bombed, and the fourth and fifth game didn’t do any better.
With the way Simon keeps everything in his hat, this game could be called Adventures With Orko lol
Thirty whole years ago and I still love this game. First time I played it was 2002. Scarily it was only nine years old then
Wasnt inspired by Monkey Island at all, its a great game in its own right and made in the village next to me.
Just started playing through this game yesterday and this video was in a way the reason for it. Seeing this reminded me about what a great game this is.
So thanks for that and also a great video to boot. Keep up the good work. 🙂👍
Haha im making a swompi mascot costume love the game😊
*sigh* ... thats exactly the world I want to life in. Will always remember this game. Forever.

I still have my amega console and about 100 games Simon the sorcerer monkey island and ween to name but a few🇬🇧
Classic British game. I love it.
I've still got the game and console
I played this game when it came out , I had just started college :) yes I am that old :)
I was born in May 1970
OMG i need this game in my life again!!!
Very good game. I missed the old times of good point and click adventures.
Best game ever!!!!
1:26:15 omfg lmao I just noticed that dwarf throws a rock at the other one when he tells him to shut up 😂😂😂😂
Yeah some more nostalgia.
:'( good ol days.
The sousaphone part's hilarious!! LOL!! Who dafuq is crazy enough to play this instrument like that? Very hella funny!!
that owl must be suffering should be put out of his missery.he has too live every sec forgetting stuff
I get some serious Monkey Island 2 vibes from the music, especially the first bit
Childhood memories.... ❤
Anyone who plays this game automatically gets a sub from me, this is my favourite game of all time, everything is perfect about the game! Child of 86 so i played the original lol
I'm a child of 1970 and it's also my favourite game. Simon The Sorcerer 2 is well worth playing as well.
paulanderson79 yeah ive played it as well, i own 3 as well but never played it
born 88 played in the 90's on Amiga :) great game
This game is indeed excellent.
I'm only 23 and I played when I was only 3 😉 (with my dad's assistance of course) this, feeble files, monkey Island. All classics in my eyes.
Launched in 1993. First time I played was 2002 - Me 32 years of age in that year.
Great Game!!
This was going to be a discworld game to start with .
I played this when I was a kid and never made it to the end as it was too difficult lol
First played it in 2002 - age of 32. Great game
@@paulanderson7796 did you finish it fully?
@@doraanaisnin5199 I did. In autumn of 2002. At the age of 32
Roland MT-32 emulator MIDI yes?
Oh god. I remember playing this as a kid and missing most of the references.
My mom was probably lowkey horrified but I never asked about any of this. :D
You missed one of my favourite dialogue. When you escape the witch, if you stay long enough, she says “where are you, mousy mousy?” and “I’m stuck!”.
Simon would have made a very nice Animé
Goodbye childhood
is this a special edition or something? The music sounds a little different, like better MIDI instruments, and the voices are a lot clearer.
MT-32 MIDI emulation
Exactly what I thought when listening to it
54:13 the moment many players found out that they're sadists
Watch out trees
Here i come 😂😂
One of the best
God bless simon
some games really need to be remade
No it really doesnt, not every perfect game has to be remade to be good, you cant fix what aint broken and thats how this game should stay, remakes always ruin classics. We need to stop this trend now.
It's a product of its wonderful time period.
Title. Simon the Sorcerer.
TH-cam: mOnKeY iSlAnD
And this how these corporations even handle topics of politics.
I realize peridolia or however it’s spelled is a thing, but the rocks and trees in the background have been designed to occasionally look like faces, right?
They have been done that way. Look like faces.
Is it just me or does the object at the centre of the Celtic metalwork like border that divides the words ‘Simon’ and ‘the sorcerer’ look like the head of a Ferengi (from Star Trek)?
1:13:48 I didn't know there was a LOTR Reference in this game at all not lie i wish Lucasarts game did a LOTR game in the monkey Island style
God I wish so badly I was still like, 10-12ish... I will be 40 within 5 years..😢
I'm in my 53rd year. It's not so bad.
I love this game and I re-played it on my iPhone but now for some reason it doesn't play 😭
Chris Barrie as Simon, and the Forest theme are the best parts of this, oh and the three wizards playing there game “Am i the North Wind?”
*their game. however, I love this game.
paulanderson79 in my defense of there/their it was like 4am and I had half my face in the pillow looking for white noise to help sleep
after a few goes I decided [just because I could & found a way] to buy the fake magical stuff from the Dodgy Geezer, it's still possible to complete the game if you do it, I also remember once beating the witch when she got 2-0 up
Simon sounds like David Tennant LOL!
The voice for Simon in this game was Chris Barrie - Britas Empire and previously Red Dwarf (Arnold Rimmer)
David Tennant lol wow
2:31:40 Oh Poooooooo...
Did Matthew Holness do some of the voice work for this game?
Roland MT-32 emulator works nicely.
52:15 1:46:30 "Eat your stew!"
I'm getting a lot of Monkey Island vibes to this game. I wonder if any of the staff were ex-Lucas Arts employees?
None. Wholly British.
@@paulanderson7796 Interesting.
Is that Chris Barrie?
I love this game! Did you play blind? I couldn't tell sometimes.....
Rimmer!
I’m stuck ...
2:10:26 I’d have said Paul Daniels. XD
May name is simon I want play this game
This is like King's Quest if King's Quest games had decent writing.
2:44:00 stoned as hell deamons
I presume this is the Adult version. Never heard the original swearing!!
you just dotn remember it, noone couldnt give 2 ducks about it at that time. It was just all fun :D
😂lol goldilocks
It feels kinda slow. The dialogue is more natural at 1.25x
This boy i remember, he was a little bit womanizer
Kurde, że nikt nie zrobi z tego zagrajmy po polsku :D super gra!
Mega gra! 46 i dalej gram na Amidze 500
Amazing game! Love it even more without the voice-acting! :p
Without? How dare you!
????? freak!
this doesn't have nothing to do with the last unicorn...cuz there a simon the wizard
"doesn't have nothing"? What kind of grammar is that?
ok the video becomes unwatchable because of the ads you ve put.every 7 minutes or less.i understand you need to get paid for the work you re doing but 1 ad in such a little period of time is excessive
Just skip the whole video till 3:00:19 and then press play. It'll get rid of the ads
