Reception

John Sweeney for Page 6 said "this adventure is excellent value for money. Congratulations on another great game, Level 9."[1]

Amtix said "No doubt the game will be another smashing success. It's just a pity that all their imagination seemed to be exhausted in well hidden ideas and nothing was left to beef up the plot or flavour the atmosphere."[2]

Keith Campbell for Commodore User said "as with all Level 9 games, one can only say, 'Their best yet!'"[3]

Rob Steel for The Games Machine said "There is nothing to bind the adventure together, it is simply a number of rooms containing unexciting creatures, clues to one of the 18 spells or nothing of interest."[4]

  • Sinclair User, review of The Price of Magik:

    "... further proof of Level 9's position as the leading UK adventure house... Everything in The Price of Magik is for the best - plot, parser, graphics, and above all the execution of the game."[5]
