Magic Ring

About

Magic Ring drops you into a PC-9800 adventure where you play as Sieve, a hero trained at Hirder Academy. The story kicks off when seven servants of a genie turn kingdoms into strange places like a land of sweets or haunted houses. You explore eight stages in real time, using top-down jumping and attacks to find seven rainbow fragments. These items grant special skills such as dashes and aerial rests while serving as keys to reach the final castle. The gameplay blends standard action with magic usage as you hunt down these scattered pieces across the bizarre world. The game stands out for its eclectic stage design that shifts from a brave academy to surreal environments without warning. Players must manage combat encounters while solving basic movement puzzles to collect all fragments. Community feedback notes the tight controls on the PC-98 platform make navigating those quirky levels satisfying despite the dated graphics. The final confrontation awaits once you gather enough power to seal the genie away in darkness. This 1993 release offers a straightforward experience where finding every piece feels essential before facing the end game boss.
