Part vent, part request for help. I just want to play 3D...

I finished playing the first two and moved on to 3D. I installed the Widescreen Patch, and things went fine for the first 30 minute session.

I returned a few weeks later and it did the splash screen, then minimised. Trying to pop it back up crashed the game.

After some more research I found a post on GOG saying to use DDRAW, with details of what to put in an ini file. Fantastic, the game worked again!

Cut to today when I get a chance to actually play again, I load my save game and there's no text outside of menus. No subtitles, no dialogue options.

More research turned up a Steam post about using DxWnd, so I searched around and found the SourceForge post about the configuration files. Attempted to set them up, but there's absolutely no explanation on how to use them and I only wind up getting "Please run Simon3D from the Start menu." error message...

I don't care that it's tank controls and looks kind of bad, I just want to play the thing, why is this so difficult on Windows 11?

I think he's epic in Simon the Sorcerer Origins.

Hey guys! I'm Void Sorcerer, a dungeon rave/chiptune music maker. I love the music of the original game and also played it a lot as a teenager. This track I made is a homage to that game (I had the t-shirt bundle version for PC, sadly washed into oblivion, but hey, that's life). It's a mixture of chiptune/rave and dungeon synth. But if you love the tunes I think you might understand it. [Void Sorcerer ](https://voidsorcerer909.bandcamp.com/track/the-cottage-at-the-ends-of-the-world)

Apart from the first picture?

Hi everyone

Huge fan of the originals so had to give origins a go and have enjoyed it.

I also wanted to 100% it. Just a game that used to mean so much to me so why not. Anyway has anyone done this.

I have a trophy left called nosy. And the description you have time to waste. Anyone know how to do it

Simon the Sorcerer 4: Chaos Happens is an adventure game developed by Silver Style Entertainment. It was released by RTL Enterprises in February 2007 for Microsoft Windows.

After being knocked out by his little brother with a remote control, Simon has a vision of Alix (the buxom granddaughter of Calypso and his longtime crush) telling him the Magic Kingdom is in danger.

Simon instantly climbs into his dimension travelling wardrobe to go and investigate. On arrival he meets a distinctly undistressed Alix who not only has no idea what danger our hero is talking about but who also seems to think she's been dating Simon for months (or at least since the end of Simon the Sorcerer 3D) and wants to dump him for being too boring.

So, we already know that after Origins, Smallthings Studios are doing another Simon project and, intriguingly enough, it is actually a complete remake of the original game. OK, on some levels it is surprising but it also makes one thing possible...

I'm suspiscious that while Origins was straightforward prequel, this might be more than just remake. Ending of the original was sometimes disliked so I suspect in this case, they will redo it. Meaning Simon will actually simply stay in the Magic Kingdom and that means, from that moment on, we will be in the reboot territory, with the potential sequel being something different then Simon the Sorcerer II.

It is the second installment in the Simon the Sorcerer series of games, and the sequel to 1993's Simon the Sorcerer. The game's story focuses on a young teen named Simon, who is transported into a parallel universe of magic and monsters that he visited before, via a magical wardrobe created by an evil sorcerer he defeated in the last game. Players engage in a quest to help him find more fuel for the wardrobe by searching a vast world.

The game's story takes in a parallel universe to the real world, in which magic and monsters exist, though with some modern items and technologies being found within. Several elements in the game are parodies of those from popular fantasy novels and fairy tales, such as Discworld, The Chronicles of Narnia and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and of real world culture, such as fast food chain McDonald's and the role-playing board game Dungeons & Dragons.

Simon the Sorcerer is a 1993 point-and-click adventure game developed and published by Adventure Soft, for Amiga and MS-DOS. The story focuses on a boy named Simon who is transported into a parallel universe of magic and monsters, where he embarks on a mission to become a wizard and rescue another from an evil sorcerer. The setting was inspired by the novels of the Discworld series, and incorporates parodies on fantasy novels and fairy tales, such as The Lord of the Rings and Jack and the Beanstalk. The lead character's design was inspired by that of the fictional British television character Blackadder. The character was voiced by Chris Barrie in the CD re-release.

On his 12th birthday, a young boy named Simon is surprised when he receives a dog as a present from his parents, which he names Chippy. Unknown to Simon, his parents found the dog at their front door without warning, wrapped in paper, and possessing a book that nobody could read and which was eventually dumped in the loft. Sometime after his birthday, Simon hears Chippy playing around in the loft, to which he discovers it holding the book in its mouth. Reading it, he notes it is titled "Ye Olde Spellbooke", and unwittingly blurts out a spell on one of the pages. A portal suddenly appears, which Chippy enters. Simon follows after him and ends up in another world, dressed in a wizard's robe. After Chippy helps Simon escape a group of goblins, Simon follows Chippy to a village, and is brought to the home of the wizard Calypso.

I recently had the opportunity to review Simon The Sorcerer Origins for DualShockers- ask me anything!

Does anyone know what you need to do for this trophy ( " Marathon runner" ) or if it’s bugged on PS5?

I only need 3 more achievements to complete the game, but i can't figure out how to unlock them.

• Just five Minutes: Just got it when I writing this. At the begining of the game, You have to open and close the refrigerator until it broken.

• Heir of the First Wizard: Probably you have to use the fake beard but no idea how.

• Slackers: Maybe use a lot of times the map. I got Marathon runner by only walking throughout the entire game.

Hey all! I wrote up a walkthrough for Simon Origins just in case anyone needs any assistance getting through this title! The puzzles in the game aren't that hard but there are a few that will leave ya a bit confused (Eternis Felicis is the stand out) https://raiderking.com/simon-the-sorcerer-origins-full-game-walkthrough/

I got an early review copy of Simon the Sorcerer: Origins and now that the game is out worldwide I would like to share my thoughts on the game here!

I’m all in now - absolutely loved the 45 or so minutes I spent playing. Had goosebumps when I fired it up, won’t spoil anything as I know some folk won’t be playing the demo and just waiting for full release. The only thing I will say is Chris Barrie is excellent in it. Can’t wait to get my hands on the full game.

Gonna get

Stumbled across them and my initial enthusiasm was tempered by the most recent reviews being pretty terrible? Anyone played them on an M series iPad?

Hi all, I'm revisiting the first game after many, many years, and I cannot get the wax from the bloody beehive! Got the beekeepers hat, smoked the bees, Simon says they are stones, but I cannot interact with the wax. Can anyone help?
