Self described as “both the ideal way to begin the saga for newcomers and a faithful return to the franchise for long-time fans” this is a prequel, something the game itself tells you about 30 minutes in. Set “just weeks” before the original 1993 events, it starts with Simon moving into a new house in a current world environment, although he quickly finds himself in a whole other place, be-decked in wizards robes and tasked to enter the Magic Academy. An ancient prophecy and saving the world loom large, but getting back home is his primary goal. Find out more in flotsam's review of ******** Simon the Sorcerer Origins, A Review by flotsam ********

And my sincere apologies to all for this being a week late! It got buried in my in-box.

Thanks so much for the great review flotsam! I am ashamed to admit I don't recall playing any of the games. And I’m even more ashamed to admit that I have all the boxed versions in my bookshelf, but haven’t played them. But thank you for the review, flotsam!
