History of the Title

The Art of Magic was the second sequel to an old game first published on the ZX spectrum called "Chaos" (1985). It was an 8 bit adventure game and featured a wizard battling enemies. Chaos was written by Julian Gollop [X-Com etc] and nowadays you can play it on line inside ZX spectrum emulators!

This was followed by "Lords of Chaos" (1990) and then "Magic and Mayhem" (1998) we were then asked to do a follow up to this, somewhat confusingly called "Magic and Mayhem : The Art of Magic" (2001).

We were chosen because we had a proven 3D RTS engine. The result is still available to buy from Amazon!
