Hocus Pocus is a 1994 side-scrolling platform video game developed by Moonlite Software and published by Apogee Software for MS-DOS. It is a 256 color VGA game featuring 360 degree scrolling and parallaxing backgrounds. A part of this title is distributed under the shareware license.

In the game, the player controls Hocus, a young wizard apprentice, sent on a quest by Terexin, leader of the Council of Wizards to prove his worthiness to join this council. To do this, Hocus has to beat 36 levels spread over 4 episodes, filled with over 30 different kinds of monsters, includings imps, ghosts, and dragons, and a boss at the end of each episode.

This is my playthrough of the game Shadow Warrior, created by 3D Realms. The game’s main character, Lo Wang, has to fight his way through Zilla’s forces, and eventually confront him at the end of the game.

Here I go and get every kill (save for some levels, which may be impossible) and every secret throughout the entire game.

Due to me recording on DOSBox, the CD Audio is not included in the recording, so I had to painstakingly put the CD music into the audio track for the video.

Here is the first of two parts for the Master Leep’s Temple level.
