Magician is a Eurocom and Taxan NES action RPG with its apprentice wizard Paul crossing fantasy realms to stop evil sorcerer Abadon. The representation offers oblique view with real time combat and varied spells in a European western action RPG formula. Honest for NES action RPG fans, curiosity of the 8 bit Taxan catalog.

A Western-designed action RPG published by Taxan, Magician belongs to the wave of late 1992 NES releases, when market attention had already drifted toward the Super Nintendo. That end-of-cycle timing kept the print run small and thinned out complete copies, despite a lukewarm reception at the time. Desirability rests on this Taxan late-release profile, a third party whose limited NES catalogue feeds completist demand rather than any cult standing.
