Simon Gets Gold - Simon the Sorcerer #8 (Full Game Play Through)
2Simon the Sorcerer is a series of point-and-click adventure games created by Adventure Soft. Simon the Sorcerer follows the adventures of Simon, an unwilling hero in a strong fantasy setting similar to Sierra's King's Quest and Westwood's The Legend of Kyrandia series. The game varies in style, however, as it is more poised to be a parody of the fantasy genre than a member of the genre itself, with many renowned folklore characters appearing differently from what they are generally presumed to be.
The first two games are often compared with the Monkey Island series in terms of style and humour, and the Terry Pratchett Discworld novels and derivative games. Unlike many older adventure games, several of the titles in the series are still available for purchase new. The first and second games in the series are also playable using ScummVM.
Simon is rude and insulting to many of the characters he meets. This tends to interfere with the success of his quests, forcing him to go to ridiculous lengths in order to complete puzzles. Simon also breaks the fourth wall with his comments about adventure games.
After entering the portal, Simon finds himself in another world. After escaping from some goblins who intended to eat him, he discovers that he has been brought on a quest to rescue the wizard Calypso from the evil sorcerer Sordid.
The game includes parodies of various popular books and fairy tales, including Rapunzel, The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Jack and the Beanstalk and the Three Billy Goats Gruff.
Simon is voiced in this game by Chris Barrie, known for his roles in Red Dwarf and The Brittas Empire. This game marks the first appearance of two evil, if somewhat inept, demons, who are recurring characters throughout the remainder of the series.
