Spellcasting 101 - Sorcerers get all the Girls

Spellcasting 101: Sorcerers Get All the Girls is a graphic text adventure game designed by legendary Infocom alumnus Steve Meretzky and published by Legend Entertainment in 1990. You play as Ernie Eaglebeak, a teenager hopelessly in love with Lola Tigerbelly. To improve his chances, Ernie enrolls at Sorcerer University. After running away from his disapproving stepfather, Ernie arrives on campus to experience frat parties, attend magic classes, and pursue romantic interests. The idyllic college life is shattered when a villain kidnaps your advisor. Armed with a magic surfboard, you must travel across the land of Peloria to rescue your friends and prevent the destruction of the world.

DOS

Released by Legend Entertainment in 1990 exclusively for MS-DOS, this version is the original and only release. The game runs on IBM PC compatibles and supports CGA, EGA, VGA, and MCGA graphics modes. Audio support is provided for AdLib, Roland MT-32, and RealSound boards. Controls can be entirely keyboard-driven (classic text parser) or utilize a mouse for movement and selecting common commands. A famous feature is the ability to toggle between "Nice" mode (innocent hand-holding) and "Naughty" mode (risqué descriptions) for romantic encounters. Players can disable graphics entirely, playing as a pure text adventure. Reviewers praised Meretzky's trademark humor, inventive puzzles, and seamless integration of graphics with interactive fiction.
