Magic Pockets is a platform game developed by the Bitmap Brothers and published by Renegade in October 1991. It was released for the Atari ST, Amiga, Acorn Archimedes and PC. The title track of the game is the instrumental version of a hit single "Doin' The Do", by Betty Boo, originally released in 1990 on the Rhythm King label.
Magic Pockets also appeared as competition on the Saturday morning kids TV shows Motormouth and Going Live!. The caller would watch the game on their TV screen at home and shout the instructions 'walk', 'jump' and 'fire' on the former show, and using a tone pad on their phone to directly control the character on the latter.
