| In the early 90s, a company called Legend released a game called
| Spellcasting 101.  It was an adventure game where you were a boy who
| living with an abusive father.  You filled out an application for
| Soucerer's University and escaped from your home.  Basically lots of
| interesting stuff happens when you are at university as you mess around
| with magic.  The game was written to be humourous as much as it was
| adventurous.
|
| What I noticed is that the concept was ripped off by this Harry potter
| stuff.
|
| Take a look at the box cover of the game.  The main character in the game
| even looks a little like harry potter.

Heh. I thought this was a joke but it looks like a real game.
