Spellcasting 201: The Sorcerer's Appliance in the GAMES 100 (1992)
SPELLCASTING 201: THE SORCERER'S APPLIANCE
Ernie Eaglebeak returns in Steve Meretsky's wacky interpretation of life at Sorcerer U., where Ernie, now a sophomore, must survive hell week to join his favorite fraternity. Despite its unfortunate patches of Animal House humor, the game is full of intriguing puzzles, involving interesting magical devices and chemical substances with unusual properties (not what you're thinking).
