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:
“The absolute dependence of a newborn infant inspired many things in me, but it did not activate any magical knowledge about what to do for the next twenty years.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“Magic is the envelopment and coercion of the objective world by the ego; it is a dynamic subjectivism. Religion is the coercion of the ego by gods and spirits who are objectively conceived beings in control of nature and man.”
—Richard Chase (b. 1914)
