First released on PC way back in 1994, and then remade for the original PlayStation, Magic Carpet is in essence a free-movement FPS. Taking on the role of a magician on a magic carpet, you’ll run through around 50 levels, killing stuff with magic and then collecting its “mana.” Collect enough mana and the next level is opened up.

Thankyou for the kind comment!
I agree; I think Magic Carpet was the first game I got truly addicted to. I played it for weeks straight, I think, and it amazes me that amongst all the revivals this game has not been on the radar.
Still, the fact it is on PSN gives me hope – someone, somewhere in EA (or whoever does own the game's license) sees value in it yet. 🙂

I just want to express how much I miss magic carpet. I can't play it on any working computer I have because it runs too fast.
I would dearly love a remake 🙂

Hi Anonymous,
Absolutely! The only way left to play Magic Carpet is the inferior PSOne port. It's still playable, but not the way Magic Carpet was designed to be played.
I have my fingers crossed for the future!

omg.. I haven't thought of this game in at least a decade!
Fantastic game back in the day, truely revolutionary gameplay. It's too bad it didn't catch on with remakes :(. If they ever remade it, I'd buy definitely preorder that the first minute it went up for sale!!
