As far as I am remember Magic Pockets has four different worlds, every world divided in 4 sub-levels. In the 4th sub-level there was a boss enemy. In the first level you have to use mini tornados to fight against enemies, in the second world you could freeze them. In the third world you have to win a box fight against a huge gorilla. What I found brilliant was the way the programmers change the gameplay to give the player a fresh and funny way to go ahead. The graphics art looked like an Amiga game even on a PC. You can use the mini tornados to whirl you up to higher ground instead only to kill an enemy. Such nice side effects makes the game to a lovely gem from the DOS game times. The game provided music in the title screen, but in the levels often there were sound effects only. That I find this is better than listening the same track all the time.
Playing it on Amiga, I found that if you manage to get a teleport on the first stage of each world, it sends you to a bonus room. When you get a second teleport while being into this bonus room, it sends you directly to the next world. While you manage to get 2 teleports on the first stage of the last world with the same way, it brings you back to the beginning of the game ! I don't know if this tip works also on PC, but funny, and quite challenging to do !

Spider-Man: Edge of TimeSpider-Man: Edge of Time is a follow-up to Shattered Dimensions, and similarly it has more than one Spider-Man takes a starring role. Here, it is the regular, classic "Amazing" Spider-Man, and Spider-Man 2099 – in a story awash in time travel, temporal battles, and Anti-Venom.
The backbone of this story seems to play out more like a Spider-Man 2099 story, since he is the only character truly aware of the happenings in the game, and the changes that both Spider-Men encounter. From the opening, things are bleak for Amazing Spider-Man who begins the game nearly dead, and 2099 is the only one who can help. A new villain Walker Sloan enters the picture with a plan to rebuild the past (from the year 2099) in his image and design, which turns to affect both Spider-Men. From this point, chaos unfolds in typical comic-book fashion with gameplay evenly split between Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099, with every other level interwoven with the events of one Spidey to the other.Action Science fiction
