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

C jumps. B attacks. holding down A controls your orb: you can send it into 8 directions by pushing the directional buttons. For rolling push Right+Down. For upper angle attack push and hold Up then B. For down anlge attack first jump by pushing C and in mid air push and hold Down then B. There are multiple spells in the game to help the player and can be collected through the levels. The spells have different effects, for example the blue bottles are healing spells and recover just one hit point, there are also attack spells like red eyed skulls. To switch them push and hold Down and then  START , and to use them push and hold Up and then  START .


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.).
