Overview
Description

Magic Carpet puts you in the role of a wizard soaring over diverse landscapes—water, mountains, and enchanted terrain—while you destroy rival wizards and monsters. Collect mana from hot‑air balloons and store it in your castle to fuel powerful spells and upgrades. The game’s innovative graphics and dynamic world were revolutionary for its time, and the Magic Carpet Plus edition adds the Hidden Worlds expansion with 25 new levels and a winter‑themed tileset. It supports both single‑player and multiplayer modes, delivering fast‑paced aerial combat for fans of classic fantasy action.

Magic Carpet: Hidden Worlds is an expansion pack for the original 1995 action title Magic Carpet. It adds a series of new, fantastical levels that extend the game's sky‑bound adventure with fresh challenges and environments. The expansion retains the original's fast‑paced flight combat while introducing enhanced graphics and additional story elements to deepen the experience. Designed for PC and rated E by ESRB, Hidden Worlds offers a family‑friendly, action‑packed journey through hidden realms. Players will find new enemy types, upgraded spell effects, and expanded terrain that pushes the limits of the original engine. The pack integrates seamlessly with the base game, delivering hours of extra gameplay without altering the core mechanics that made Magic Carpet a classic.
