Magical Chase (マジカルチェイス, Majikaru Chieisu?) is a scrolling shooter video game developed by Palsoft and released by Quest on the PC Engine (TurboGrafx) platform in 1991 in Japan, and 1993 in the U.S.
The game's protagonist is a witch called Ripple flying on a broomstick, along with two anthropomorphic stars known as "Star Maidens," which serve as Gradius-style options. The game has many notable similarities to Cotton, released for the console by Success the very same year. Magical Chase's late release in the U.S. at the end of the TurboGrafx/Turbo Duo's life, coupled with excessive hype, makes the game harder to find and more expensive than earlier releases.
Famous quotes containing the words magical and/or chase:
“But the life of Spirit is not the life that shrinks from death and keeps itself untouched by devastation, but rather the life that endures it and maintains itself in it. It wins its truth only when, in utter dismemberment, it finds itself.... Spirit is this power only by looking the negative in the face, and tarrying with it. This tarrying with the negative is the magical power that converts it into being. This power is identical with what we earlier called the Subject.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“You know there’s only two things more beautiful than a good gun—a Swiss watch or a woman from anywhere.”
—Borden Chase [Frank Fowler] (1900–1971)
