Magic Carpet is a 3D flying video game developed by Bullfrog Productions and published by Electronic Arts in 1994 for MS-DOS, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn platforms. Its graphics and gameplay were considered innovative and technically impressive at the time of its release.[1]
An expansion pack, Magic Carpet: Hidden Worlds, was released for MS-DOS compatible operating systems in 1995 and added 25 levels and winter-themed graphics. A compilation package, Magic Carpet Plus, which included the main game and the expansion, was used as the basis for PlayStation and Sega Saturn ports that were released in 1996. A sequel was released in 1995, Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds.
Bullfrog's original Magic Carpet will always be remembered for its innovative style and engaging gameplay.
