Episode 219 : Spellcaster (Master System)

We're taking on another request, this time for Sega's 8-bit console. We're looking at Spellcaster, a mash of a graphic adventure game and sidescrolling action sections, which is admittedly right in our wheelhouse. Is this a forgotten gem, or best left forgotten? We played it to let you know our thoughts.

We also all have been playing the same current game, but not on purpose - and our patron Jason wanted to let everyone know about the Uncanny X-Cast, which you can find here : https://uncannyxcast.libsyn.com/

Want to jump right to the game? Charge your shot for the 7:45 mark.
