I know it want be easy because this was some shareware game from mid-90.

The goal of this game was to get to the top of a tower and defeat a Evil Wizard or Demon.

Gameplay was about collecting keys which you could use to open doors. But you had to be carefull because there was a limited amount of keys and you could get fucked if you wasted your keys on some unimportant doors.

There were also some monsters to fight and some items to find. I remember some kind of a wand which was were useful in fighting the monsters.

It had rather simple, colorful graphics and most of the gameplay was about logical puzzles.

I played it somwhere in the mid to late 90 and I remember it was a game added as a bonus to a game magazine.

If any of you fine gentlemen can tell me the name of this game I will be grateful and will provide a tasty blowjob :D

Did it have an isometric perspective and tile floors/movement?

AFAIR, it was rather Top-Down, but I can be wrong. And every room on a level was on a separate screen. Kind of like in Deadly Rooms of Death.

First person, iso or tile graphic?

2003 dude. It's prehistoric. I mean, it's as old as KOTOR! It's almost old-school!

Ok here is one from me. I used to play it at the arcades in the late eighties. You controlled something like a tank with a radar tower attached on it. The two buttons were for shooting and the other one for taking control of an enemy unit and adding it to your pool of units. Levels involved clearing waves of enemies on a static map ( infantry, artilery, tanks and so on ) with your weapons and with the help of your army ( released by holding the two buttons ). I rememeber that you could snatch up to four enemies with that second attack, but that made you vulnerable because, you couldnt move while you attempt that. I think it had Combat something in its name.
I suspect its available on the mame emulators. Anybody remembers that ?

Ok, I found it. Had to look through a shitload of games at Mobygames.

And the name is as generic as it can be:

Tower of the Sorcerer.

Thanks for the effort guys.
Wow I had completely forgotten about that game. Must have played it when I was really young because I remember nothing about it.
