This game is based on a French comic that has been around since the 1960s. In the years after the game’s release, there has been a further game on modern formats and even a feature film, so even if it’s perhaps an unknown in some parts of the world, it’s a fairly big licence in others. The question is, is Iznogoud any good? The visuals are true to the comics but the playing area is very small and is dominated by a large static border. The music is quite good, but there aren’t many sound effects. The idea is to rise from your position as Grand Vizier to Caliph. To do this you must choose the right interaction with the characters you come across. The game is very much trial and error, very short (it can be completed in about two minutes) and lacks depth.
