The Mad Magician is a spellbound game that unfolds and ends differently each time you explore it. It looks like any house in the suburbs, but something spooky is going on inside! Danny lives here, but today when you come calling, his fiery-haired, flaring-tempered uncle slams the door in your face! Danny has disappeared, and you can bet that grumpy geezer is the cause of his troubles! Luckily, Danny has some special friends who will help you with the trouble. It’s up to the charming daredevil Don Mouse, clever Flora the Fly, the foolish-hearted slow-witted dog Harold, and — most of all — YOU to solve the mystery of the missing boy and the sneezing ghost.
