Warlock is a 1994 action game for the Sega Mega Drive and SNES by Trimark Interactive and Realtime Associates based on the Warlock series of films. In Japan, it had been scheduled to be released in May 1995, but was canceled just before.

Gameplay

Button jumps, for attacks and holding down controls your orb: you can send it into 8 directions by pushing the directional buttons. Pushing and at the same time the Druid rolls on the floor. The Druid can also shots diagonaly up by holding down and then : there is also diagonaly down shot during jumps by holding down and then in mid air. The Druid can cast some spells on his inventory by holding and then  START  and you can also change it by holding and then  START . Blue bottles recovers just one hit point and blue flames recovers all HPs; this spell can be also used as "lifes" if it left on inventory and if the Druid dies; there are also attack spells like red eyed skulls that can kills all enemies on the screen.

Versions

Mega Drive and SNES versions differ slightly in terms of content. While most of the graphics are identical (taking color limitations of the MD version and resolution limitation of the SNES in consideration), the game differs slightly in terms of stage layout and boss battles. E.g. stage one boss behaves completely different, there is no high elevator in stage 1, not bat ambush in stage 2 of the SNES version etc.).
