Missed Classic: The Price Of Magik - Won! (With Final Rating)

By Ilmari

Underground

Last time, I had just explored a house from top to bottom and defeated a giant slug with some salt. Beyond the slug opened up a completely new playing field. It seemed the game was funneling me towards some direction, since there were so many one-way connections between rooms (in truth, there was always a route I could backtrack to the house).

I love the decoration

The first interesting encounter was a golem wearing a silver mail with the word FIN written on it. It took me a while to find out what the creature wanted, but finally I traded my robes with the mail.

There's a union for every trade

The FIN spell turned the target into a fish, and it came soon handy, when I arrived at a river. A ferryman took me to the center of the river, I turned into a fish and dived. My reward was another spell (SAN).

Rest of the underground

Beyond the river I found a tunnel, the end of which was guarded by a bloodworm. Fortunately, my trusty bat friend scared the monster away.

Next, I came to an altar, on which rested a talisman, above which floated a 10 000 kg weight. If I tried to take the talisman, the weight crushed me. The simple solution was to cast FLY spell, which was enough to keep the weight floating, even if I took the talisman.

I didn't know cherubs looked like this

A few rooms further I found a statue of cherub. The statue was holding a trumpet, which I knew to be a focus for BOM spell. I couldn't just take the trumpet, but I had an idea I could test what BOM would do (you don't need to be holding the focus for casting a spell, it just needs to be in the same room). To my delight, the spell turned the statue alive. The cherub was scared and left the trumpet behind.

Somewhere else

I came to a glowing portal, where I had to offer a gift to Myglar, the evil wizard, before I could proceed. Myglar accepted any item as a gift, and then I could move through the portal to a grassy plain. The weirdest thing was that a brass monkey dropped on my back and refused to move. Taking into account that Brass Monkey is a cocktail and having a monkey on a back refers to being addicted, I think this is meant to be a joke. Ha-ha.

Getting the monkey off was equally ridiculous, and I had to check the clues to get it. I had to backtrack to house - fortunately I could use the ZEN spell for quick movement - and go to its kitchen area, specifically to a cold room. After a few turns, the monkey got too cold, escaped and left me with a crystal and a black ball. The black ball wasn't that interesting - it was a sort of one-time protection to any spell - but the crystal ball was a focus for ESP spell, which let me send an astral projection to an adjacent room for one turn.

My mapping session ended, when I came to a portico, filled with giant ants. With no idea how to defeat them, I turned to test some of my new spells and items. I tried various things with the talisman I found and rubbing it sent me to a new valley, completely separate from the rest of the game. This place was almost empty, but I did find a riddle:

My father is dark 

My mother's unknown

I dwell in high places

And where the ghosts moan

Returning from the valley, I continued checking the spells. BOM was especially useful, since the house was full of things I could animate. Most of them revealed new spells, some unleashed monsters, and one gave me a spell focus (claw, focus for SAN). But the most interesting result came from a picture of Stonehenge.

It really took me there!

Map of Stonehenge

At the middle of Stonehenge I found a blue box with the spell IBM written on it. This scene broke the mimesis for me. Had I been transported from a nameless fantasy realm to Earth? Why is there, presumably, a computer in Stonehenge? Did IBM have blue computers? And what does it all have to do with the spell itself, which frightens its target? In any case, I could use IBM to scare off the giant ants.

The final rooms

Beyond the ants I found new rooms. They were otherwise empty, but one of them contained a locked room. I could now try the ESP spell, which allowed me to project an astral projection of myself to some direction and returned me back to my body after one turn. Thus, I saw that beyond door there was a dead idol. I could not do anything physical in my astral form, but I could cast spells. Thus, it was only a matter of casting BOM to make the idol alive and of casting HYP to make it obey my command to open the door.

Next problem was an ice room that was too cold for walking through. The solution was simple - I just flew through it.

Is this supposed to be gargoyle or moonbeast?

After few rooms I came across a gargoyle and a moonbeast. Moonbeast was more aggressive, so I decided to deal with it first. I had trouble figuring out what I was supposed to do to the beast, so I checked the official clue sheet. The solution was waving a mirror, so that the moonbeast would be scared of its reflection.

Gargoyle was more peaceful, but it also prevented my move forward. The gargoyle wanted me to solve a riddle - it didn't tell me what riddle, but since I had come across only one riddle in the game ( see above), I guessed that would be it. I had no idea of the solution, so I again turned to the clue sheet. Turns out, the correct answer was FEAR.

Only one more room to go! I entered the lair of evil Myglar - who instantly killed me with a lightning. I restored and sent instead my astral projection to the room. I tried casting SAN - a spell that makes a person completely sane - and it did make it impossible for Myglar to cast any spell, but he still had a dagger he could use. I then tested DED - a spell to "kill" all magic. After casting it, Myglar's magical enchantment of eternal youth collapsed, and the evil wizard died.

Somewhat surprisingly, the game gave me an opportunity to decide whether I wanted a good or a bad ending. In the good ending, I received all the powers Myglar used to have and led the world into a new era of magic and prosperity. In the bad ending, my supposed magical powers were actually just figments of my disturbed mind and I was sent into an institution where I spent the rest of my days imagining myself as a magical ruler over my fellow inmates. Now, that came out of left field.

Spells (if I've "officially" found them) - foci (if I own them) - what they do: ESP - crystal ball - send an astral projection to a room next to you, ? - candle - ?, ZAP - ashes - throw a lighting, DET - elder cross - detect danger, XAM - prism - checks if target is focus for some spell, ZEN - mirror - rapid movement, MAD - grimoire - make target mad, HYP - staff - hypnotises targets, FIX - valerian - heal the target, DED - wheel - cancels spells, FLY- broom - makes target fly, DOW - pendulum - check if target is magical, BOM - trumpet - turns statues and pictures alive, SEE - feldspar lense - finding secret doors, KIL - axe - makes target go berserk, FIN - silver mail - turns target into fish, SAN - claw - makes target sane, IBM - blue box - frighten the target

Inventory otherwise: mandrake, skull, knucklebone, ring, eyebright flowers, cage, robes, knife, wolfsbane, shovel, plate armour, crowbar, talisman, black ball

Puzzles and Solvability

If we ignore the rather silly puzzle of monkey on the back and some of the more obtuse puzzles at the end of the game, all the puzzles were easy and solvable, once you knew what all the different spells did. Indeed, one might say that the biggest puzzle in the whole game was to learn how to use different spells and what effects they had. If I could have asked for something more, it would have been a more creative use of combinations of spells, since the rare times I had to do this (for instance, when creating an astral projection to cast spells in a room I couldn't access) felt very satisfying.

The problem is that the game allows the player to skip a lot of these puzzles e.g. with a liberal use of XAM and ZEN spells. It's one thing to provide alternative solutions and a completely other thing to let the player beat the game without solving puzzles, especially as solving these puzzles doesn't lead to a different outcome from not solving them.

I haven't spoken that much about the combat system, which the Price of Magik shares with its predecessor, Red Moon. Suffice to say that it serves even less function than in the previous game, since here no monsters need to be fought with. This means also that most of the spells, which often are meant to be used in combat, serve no purpose at all. Seems like a waste.

Score: 4.

Interface and Inventory

The interface is probably the best I've yet seen in Level 9 games. Just to name a few innovation, the game introduces (I think) the OOPS command you can use to correct your previous move, completely discards the need for stacking items by removing the inventory limit (finally!), allows for more complex commands in the style of Infocom and even lets me command other creatures. These additions are sufficient enough to increase the score from Red Moon.

Score: 5.

Story and Setting

The story is, to put it nicely, mostly irrelevant. You are told of an evil wizard in the manual and you finally face him at the very last room of the game, and in between you just keep exploring and augmenting your arsenal of spells. Well, to be fair, there are a couple more references to Myglar, but surprisingly few considering I am supposed to be walking in his home.

The house of Myglar is a good setting and has at least some thematic cohesion. The latter part of the game loses this cohesion, when you leave the house and the player has to trudge through yet another featureless cave system.

Score: 3.

Sound and Graphics

Graphics are what they have mostly been in Level 9 games: waste of disk space. At best they have some link to the room descriptions, often enough they don't, and constantly they are bland and boring to look at.

Score: 2.

Environment and Atmosphere

The premise and the mechanics of the game seem at first quite promising, since the mapping of Myglar's house makes for a relatively atmospheric experience. Then the player is sucked through a picture to Stonehenge, finds an IBM and uses it for magic. In the end, if you choose the "bad ending", it's all revealed to be a hallucination.

Score: 2.

Dialogue and Acting

Some reviews suggest that the text would have been better in a version with no pictures (or, I guess, in Amiga version). I can rate only what I see, and I see terse sentences with barely enough meat to make an OK room description. Not very engaging.

Score: 2.

4 + 5 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 30.

This lands the game somewhere close to Red Moon and Emerald Isle, which seems quite appropriate.

A Short Analysis About Gorogoa’s Puzzle Experience

Definitely, the most interesting and thought-provoking game I've played this year was Gorogoa. I experienced the awesome puzzles in the screen of Nintendo Switch and, wow, that was mesmerizing. I followed the whole gaming creative process in social media, but the gameplay surprised me in an epic level.



It's hard to describe the game in few words, but according to the definition from the official site, Gorogoa is "an ingenious, perfectly crafted puzzler". The game creator, Jason Roberts, developed thousands of meticulously detailed hand-drawn illustrations, encompassing the impressive scope of Gorogoa's personal narrative.



Essentially, in the gameplay, you control four quadrants where you must execute a series of zoom in and zoom outs in the images to recombine shapes and create new physical possibilities and structure new scenarios from the most improbable objects. The video below explains the game's main idea:



The great gameplay experience makes me want to write a personal short analysis of Gorogoa (for further consulting in classes) following a model proposed by Tracy Fullerton (2008) in her book Game design workshop.

• Players: single player game; one player against the puzzles
• Objectives: combine patterns to create and recreate scenarios/objects
• General rules: you can point and click in four different quadrants using zoom in and zoom out to connect new possibilities of images
• Resources: colorful images (hand drawn) with a fantasy theme disposed in four quadrants
• Conflicts: how good is your vision and imagination to solve the puzzles
• Limits: four quadrants with limited amount of zoom in/out possibilities
• Results: when you complete a puzzle correctly, the game shows you an animation and a new part of the scenario/narrative to point out your progress

[IACR] ePrint Report: A Framework For Universally Composable Publicly Verifiable Cryptographic Protocols

ePrint Report: A Framework for Universally Composable Publicly Verifiable Cryptographic Protocols

Adding RGB To A 6 Year Old PC In A 16 Year Old Case!

This project was something to get my oldest daughter interested in building PC's.  She got a bit interested when she saw me looking at parts to upgrade to a new machine; my current PC was built only a few months after she was born.

She got interested in the cases, specifically the ones where the pictures had glorious RGB set to "Unicorn Barf" mode.  She immediately asked if my new machine could look like that and suffice it to say I'll be spending some extra money on RGB parts and a case to help show it off.



When she found out that my current computer would be setup so she and my wife could have a place to play, she asked if we could make it have unicorn barf as well.

Since I still had an old original Antec LANboy windowed case laying around upstairs, I decided to buy some cheap RGB parts and move my current machine into that case with all the new fancy LED's, provided that she would help me do it.

To my joy, she was super excited to do it and so we had our own special Daddy-Daughter PC project.

My parts arrived the next day, on Sunday no less, so we immediately got to work around 11AM. My youngest wanted to hang around as well, so we took a group shot.

First I wanted to see if I could salvage an old power supply out of a very old PC that we had used as a HTPC, which needed to move out of our entertainment center anyway.  Sadly it wasn't going to work with my existing build, but my daughter did enjoy taking all the parts out of it to be recycled. Nothing needed to be saved so she got to pull lots of parts out and was excited.

Next was complete disassembly of my existing machine. True to its era, it was built into an Antec One case. Here is my daughter using it to play some Minecraft.

Here is how it looked with both panels off, it wasn't perfect cable management, but it was pretty clean and allowed for good airflow.

2013 Build Specs:

Intel i5-4570
16Gb DDR3 RAM
GTX 760
120GB SATA 6G SSD
1TB HDD
512GB SATA 6G SSD (added this XMas from a friend so my games don't take forever to load anymore).

As we were removing parts I decided to start cleaning up the old Lanboy dust wise and I started mounting the hard drives to the removable drive cage.  Yes kids, back in 2003, removable drive cages were an amazing luxury for system building.  Compare this with the Antec One from 2013 and it's tool free drive sleds that mount from the opposite side panel and I was starting to appreciate how much cases advanced over time.

And then the Lanboy really started to show its age.

You see my system has two SSD's and one HDD.  Not bad for a six year old computer, and while the Lanboy has space to the drives, it doesn't necessarily have space for the drives AND my massive video card.

I spent no less than an hour trying to tetris my way into fitting things properly. Unfortunately the top most drive bays on the tray require the HDD to be further forward, because, um...well...

You see kids, back in the day we used to have 3.5" drive bays that would stick out to the front of the case. For floppy disk drives, ZIP drives, or if we got fancy in early 2003, a SD card reader.

Sadly, the covers for the 3.5" drive bays on the front of the case wouldn't let the HDD mount properly and I couldn't squeeze in my massive GeForce GTX 760 and the drive.

In the end, I installed my SDD drives and then used only two screws (with rubber grommets at least) to secure the HDD at the top of the drive tray.  Luckily the drive doesn't really travel and is secure enough.

So I finally got everything mounted in the case, but nothing was cabled up.

And here is where the Lanboy started to show its old age even more.

The other side panel does not come off at all and there is almost no where to easily do any cable management. This is when the nightmares of my old non-LED lit build from 16 years ago came back to haunt me.

Still, I managed then and I managed now; it was just...painful. Even simple things like inserting the power supply was a strain.  I did the best I could, there aren't any cable tubes or sleeves that I had lying around, but I did manage to use cable ties and some double sided tape as needed to hide just about everything I could.

In the end I think it looked pretty good.

It was even better once I powered it on and the light show started. Everything booted up and was working fine too.

Front shot, you can also see my other very old Antec case which houses my server.

Conclusion

An old PC into an even older case was an odd build, but my daughter loves it and we had fun building it together.

The LED's aren't really controllable, well the two 80mm (yes, that's right this case only has 80mm fan mounts!) are set to permanent unicorn barf mode, but I technically have a small remote to control the LED strips.

Building the new machine will be a cakewalk in comparison. I'm looking at a Corsair cube case, though I've not 100% settled on it yet. I'm waiting for the Ryzen 3000 series to get released before I pull the trigger, and man waiting for that is hard. My daughter is already excited to help with that too, which makes it even better.  The only downside is that all the extra RGB stuff adds a bit to the overall cost, but my daughter is worth it and if I'm honest I like it too.

Brave Browser the Best privacy-focused Browser of 2019

Out of all the privacy-focused products and apps available on the market, Brave has been voted the best. Other winners of Product Hunt's Golden Kitty awards showed that there was a huge interest in privacy-enhancing products and apps such as chats, maps, and other collaboration tools.

An extremely productive year for Brave

Last year has been a pivotal one for the crypto industry, but few companies managed to see the kind of success Brave did. Almost every day of the year has been packed witch action, as the company managed to officially launch its browser, get its Basic Attention Token out, and onboard hundreds of thousands of verified publishers on its rewards platform.

Luckily, the effort Brave has been putting into its product hasn't gone unnoticed.

The company's revolutionary browser has been voted the best privacy-focused product of 2019, for which it received a Golden Kitty award. The awards, hosted by Product Hunt, were given to the most popular products across 23 different product categories.

Ryan Hoover, the founder of Product Hunt said:

"Our annual Golden Kitty awards celebrate all the great products that makers have launched throughout the year"

Brave's win is important for the company—with this year seeing the most user votes ever, it's a clear indicator of the browser's rapidly rising popularity.

Privacy and blockchain are the strongest forces in tech right now

If reaching 10 million monthly active users in December was Brave's crown achievement, then the Product Hunt award was the cherry on top.

The recognition Brave got from Product Hunt users shows that a market for privacy-focused apps is thriving. All of the apps and products that got a Golden Kitty award from Product Hunt users focused heavily on data protection. Everything from automatic investment apps and remote collaboration tools to smart home products emphasized their privacy.

AI and machine learning rose as another note-worthy trend, but blockchain seemed to be the most dominating force in app development. Blockchain-based messaging apps and maps were hugely popular with Product Hunt users, who seem to value innovation and security.

For those users, Brave is a perfect platform. The company's research and development team has recently debuted its privacy-preserving distributed VPN, which could potentially bring even more security to the user than its already existing Tor extension.

Brave's effort to revolutionize the advertising industry has also been recognized by some of the biggest names in publishing—major publications such as The Washington Post, The Guardian, NDTV, NPR, and Qz have all joined the platform. Some of the highest-ranking websites in the world, including Wikipedia, WikiHow, Vimeo, Internet Archive, and DuckDuckGo, are also among Brave's 390,000 verified publishers.
