Why the hell did you license that?

Obscure, unpopular and illogical, none of them were ever going to make a good game.

Warlock | SNES/Mega Drive | Acclaim | 1995

Warlock was a late ‘80s horror movie starring Julian Sands (You know, that guy who got cocooned in Arachnaphobia. No? Oh well). It received middling reviews and didn’t make a spectacular amount of money. Someone at LJN (Yes, them again) must have bloody loved it though, because in 1995, six years after its release, we got SNES and Mega Drive games based upon it.

Was it good? No of course not. Did it make a huge amount of money? We’re guessing not. Did the fact that a Warlock game finally existed fulfill the long-held Warlocky dreams of hardcore Warlock fans who’d dreamed for years of running carefree through the Warlock world doing all those Warlocky things that they’d loved from the movie? We seriously hope not, and if it did, then we’re just thankful for the fact that such people are probably still too busy staying indoors and playing Warlock while listening to the Warlock soundtrack and watching Warlock on another TV to venture outside and risk running into us.
