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:
“Hunger makes you restless. You dream about food—not just any food, but perfect food, the best food, magical meals, famous and awe-inspiring, the one piece of meat, the exact taste of buttery corn, tomatoes so ripe they split and sweeten the air, beans so crisp they snap between the teeth, gravy like mother’s milk singing to your bloodstream.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1953)
“Erle Douglas on his milk-white steede,
Most like a baron bold,
Rode foremost of his company,
Whose armor shone like gold.”
—Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 65–68)
