Hello Mike, just wanna say that I grew up with this game and Spooky Castle and Eddie Galaxy and they were my favorite video games for a long time! Super dooper glad to see these on itch, but Im having a massive issue I hope you or someone can help with; Im getting an error that says "MGL Fatal Error, Cannot find graphics mode"
Ive tried running from cmd prompt with window, tried compat settings galore, even googling the error gives me no exact duplicates of the error at all. Im on windows 10, do you know anything about fixing this?
It should give that error if it actually can't put your video card into 640x480x256, which I seem to recall WAS something I encountered years ago - some video cards are just too fancy for such a thing. Can't imagine why that would impede windowed mode though. The good news is that you shouldn't have that problem with Supreme WIth Cheese if you want to play that. The bad news is I'm not sure how to fix it for Kid Mystic beyond the things you have tried. Someone else might have an idea? For the most helpful people, check out our discord (link on my website on the About page), where the real knowledgeable people sit.
Well thank you for replying anyways! Yes, Supreme with cheese works well in windowed mode (and I use a screen magnifier to basically get it fullscreen :)) so I am glad for that! And thank you for the discord recomendation, Ill check it out right now!
Hey, I see your post was made 80 days ago. I wonder if you're still around because I do have interests in the old version of Spooky Castle: Kid Mystic. I used to have the original eGames CD a long time ago, but I don't have it anymore. I wish I could get my hands on the that version. Do you still have that one? And if so, is there a way for me to get it? =)
(Be advised that probably you'll need to set the compatibiility to WINDOWS 98 on the exe for it to run... ALSO, if the game colors are glitched you need to close your EXPLORER.EXE process before starting the game... If you have any doubts you can contact me by email: felipe.vecchio@hotmail.com)
Here is the Mac Version of Kid Mystic. It works on 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard. It probably also works on 10.3 Panther and 10.4 Tiger. Do not try running it on 10.7 Lion or later.
I originally posted this in the Spooky Castle comments but it's more appropriate to share here I made an account on here just to Thank You for making Spooky Castle: The Adventures Of Kid Mystic. My brothers and I played that game all the time probably over 15 years ago now on our Dad's Windows ME computer with the eGames/FoxKids Disk. It brings back memories and I'm quite surprised to see that you are still making games after all this time. Did the game ever have a Big Box release? If so then I'll be on the lookout as I'd love to get my hands on one, especially for a future Review I'm planning (I'll be sure to mention this website too). Either way, Thanks for doing what you do and not only cheering up my families life but many others as well with your games.
Yes, the best Fantasy Role Playing Game On The PC did come out in its own big box! I have one on my shelf. It's from back when game boxes were BIG, maybe 8"x11" or something, and an inch thick. With cool embossed shiny art on the front. Good luck finding one.
Thank You for a response. Can you share a picture or video of what it looks like front and back? Maybe the contents within too if that's not too much to ask but I was also wondering what is the order of these games? Which one came first and what are the stories behind them? Are they sequels? Do the other games have Big Boxes too?
Hamumu it's a great thing that I can hunt down a game from my childhood, and find it online with the developer still around. I was obsessed with this game when I was younger, even though I was terrible at it. Any chance you have a picture of the CD? The cover art on the cd really sticks in my memory for some reason. Thanks for the great times!
Hey Hamumu I have also loved your games growing up when I was very young. I was wondering if you would ever make a remake to these games? Also what is the order of your series?
It's not likely, I like to do new things (I did remake Robot Wants It All though). Sequels maybe. There's not a lot of order to anything, other than the numbered serieses where you can guess the order! They do have release dates listed though if you want to see them in the order they came out (doesn't seem like itch.io allows you to sort by that though).

I played the original eGames version as a kid, what changed in this version?

Bought this with my pocket money off the counter at EB games when I was like, seven and then made my dad play it for me because I was too scared :')
10/10 Foundational. My family still parrot the sound effects in every day conversation. Strive to be cool cat bad in every aspect of my life.
I was wondering if you have the soundtrack separately because it still gets stuck in my head xP
Just download the game and you'll find the song files right there!
Even to this day this is in my top three computer games of all time! Thank you for creating this!
What about this one?? So many good memories... (I still have the EGAMES version, if anyone interested.)

Hey Flawi, sure there is a way for me to share the game with you ! This is the download link for the RAR file:

Enjoy! :)
This one on itch is the same as the eGames version, not too sure why the name is different!
Egames version is more simple... less resources on shop and levels... This one on Hamumu is more complete @nylepudding
İ Love You Hamumu :)
Love the visuals dude! Can't wait to play this later :)

Here is the Kid Mystic Cheat Edition. The pinned messages on the Kid Mystic section of the Loonychat Discord Server have information on how to use it.

One of my favorite Hamumu games. I have so many fond memories of this one!
