Simon the Sorcerer
DOSGraphic Adventure
Simon the Sorcerer is a comedic point-and-click adventure developed and published by Adventure Soft for DOS in 1993. The game follows Simon, a sarcastic modern teenager who is transported to a fantasy world and recruited to rescue the wizard Calypso from the villainous Sordid. Its play style combines exploration, conversation, inventory-based puzzle solving, and deliberately irreverent humor. Players investigate hand-drawn locations, collect unusual objects, and use them in unexpected ways while interacting with a large cast of eccentric characters. The game was recognized for its colorful presentation, British comic tone, and extensive voice work in later releases. Its puzzles can be obscure, but the memorable writing and distinctive setting helped establish Simon as a notable adventure-game series of the 1990s.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
