Talk:Magic Carpet (video game)

Affiliation wirh Intel?

Was this game designed in part to promote the Intel Pentium in 1994? Or did the game makers just take advantage of the buzz around the new CPU to generate publicity for the game?

Pentium was the first chip made by intel to be actually designed with games in mind. The game had "plays best with pentium" logo on it like many others at the time. I'm sure it was just to jump on the band wagon. MrBobla

Neighbours

I don't know if this is still the case but, once upon a time, if they were playing a computer game on Neighbours it was always Magic carpet ;o) --JP78 12:45, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I was just coming to this page to say the same thing ! This needs to be mentioned, for months there was a whole storyline where libby was addicted to magic carpet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.58.41 (talk) 21:40, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Bug in the bugs description?

There's been some really good work done on this page since I last stopped by. However, I do have a question about the "criticism" section. "Most of the bugs involved enemy wizards. For instance, one bug prevents an enemy castle from being destroyed, while another causes enemy wizards to be stuck in mid-air while not being able to be killed." I've seen the first bug every once in a while, but never the second. I have seen an occasional enemy balloon stuck in mid-air like that. Did the editor in question mean "balloons" but type "wizards" accidentally? Nahtmmm 17:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

I think I have seen both wizards, enemies and balloons stuck in mid-air. Happens about 1% of the time. AlexFili 17:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

A minor nitpick

I believe that Volcano actually causes quite a bit of damage upon initial strike, as there is a moment between the spell landing and the newly formed volcano beginning its eruption. I've killed wizards many times by hitting them with a couple of Volcanoes, and generally they don't wait to die until the volcano starts erupting before they die. No big deal, really, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Nahtmmm 18:12, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, Volcano definitely is the best weapon for taking out castles. There are three stages of damage, one where the earth is rising, the second where the smoke and explosions are heard and the third where the lava spews out. I think each of these stages do a lot of damage, and the lava balls really hurt the castles very much. AlexFili 17:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Artificial Intelligence in this game is better then letting on?

For example, I've noticed one of the wizards wouldn't attack me and we became 'virtual friends' where I would like protect his castle from enemies and he would help me out at the same time. Not sure if this is an AI bug or a genuine trait, but it happened to me. (Was the orange coloured player). AlexFili 17:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Update: Today Vodor was being quite friendly to me in one mission, destroying monsters and letting me take the mana. Then again, he couldnt upgrade to level 2 castle because it was blocked... so maybe he just couldnt... oh well. 86.143.18.160 10:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Can I add a few strategies on this page?

I was thinking of adding things like, the best way to start out and what spells to use against enemy players and enemy castles... would that be alright?

And maybe to list the player names and colors? if thats not been done yet? 86.143.18.160 10:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Online Play?

It would be awesome if someone allowed network play across the internet... anyone know of any such project? —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexFili (talk • contribs) 11:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Available on floppy

It's mentioned as being CD-ROM based for PC and that since Doom was available on floppy with the implication that Magic Carpet not being on floppy was a problem - except that it was available on floppy disc; I have a set of floppies for it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.107.127 (talk) 11:11, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
