• Even when, like The Pagemaster from 1994, the movie itself is a little mediocre there's no doubt I'll put aside its misgivings and thoroughly enjoy it. That same year, a number of videogame adaptations came out, including this little known adventure game published by Turner Interactive.
• 500 Plays Start and epic journey through the pages of a scary book with the awesome Pagemaster! Work through the levels of the story, jumping on bad guys and collecting bonuses to progress quickly. You need to move fast though, before the pages turn and you're left behind!
• The rules of the game aren’t explained at all, leaving with you guessing to progress. Enemies are the main frustration. Occasionally they kill you instantly, but if you approach it in another way you can kill it, but it’s all guesswork.
• Seeking refuge from a storm, timid Richard Tyler enters an empty library only to be swept away into the magical animated world of the Pagemaster. It's a timeless place of wonder and discovery where legendary characters from literary classics come alive.

Description The Pagemaster was released in conjunction with the Macaulay Culkin part action/part cartoon feature film released in 1994. Guide your character through a selection of levels based around themed books, ranging from Horror to Adventure and Fantasy worlds. You can use magic and stomp enemies to death by jumping on their head.

This game is great for Macaulay Culkin fans. Both of them. Everyone else may find the levels too short and the tricky controls too difficult.

Turn the Page

You play as Macaulay's movie character, lost in a world of books. You travel through three main worlds -- Horror, Adventure, and Fantasy -- that are split into a total of 68 areas. You'll meet characters from classic books, like Captain Ahab and Humpty Dumpty. Among the power-ups are Magic Shoes for extra jumping abilities and Sticky Eyeballs to throw at adversaries.

Picture Book

The graphics in Pagemaster aren't bad, with good detail and imaginative backgrounds. The hero looks a little undersized, but his bookish appearance suits the story.

Some small but clear voice clips and lots of explosions headline the above-average sounds. The music changes for every level, so you won't have to hear the same tune over and over again.

The real problem is the dismal control. If you try to land on an enemy while wearing the Magic Shoes, you lose sight of the enemy. When you land, you're usually behind your target. And the first stage's wall hooks are so hard to hang on to; you may hang this game on the wall before continuing.

Throw the Book at 'Em

The Pagemaster won't satisfy most palates, but it may be just the thing for young tots who aspire to be like Big Mac. Otherwise, go find something to read.

• Chase down your power- ups when hit. They act as a buffer so you don't lose a life right away.
• Once you get Invincible, run through the level. Don't waste any time!
• Check out all suspicious-looking elements. These dark patches on the wall are hooks.

The Pagemaster is a platform game released in conjunction with the 1994 film The Pagemaster for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, and Sega Genesis. A character can be guided through a selection of literature genre-themed levels, ranging from horror to adventure and fantasy worlds.

Reception[edit]

GamePro gave the SNES version a mixed review. They criticized the poor controls and repetitiveness, commenting that 'Almost all of Pagemaster is redundant platform jumping against the same enemies who appear over and over again.' However, they praised the graphics for their colorful and effective recreations of the settings for famous novels and concluded the game 'isn't bad, it just isn't as fun as it could've been.'^[10] The four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly also considered it a just above average game. They praised the movie-like graphics and audio, but criticized the controls, saying the character tends to slide around, and felt the game to be generally uninteresting.^[7] They held the Genesis version in lower regard, commenting that 'This game would be enjoyable, but the control just isn't there.'^[6]GamePro similarly commented that the Genesis version is good in most respects, but that the poor controls make it an overall mediocre game.^[9]

Reviewing the Game Boy version, GamePro praised the diverse gameplay, detailed graphics, and atmospheric music, but remarked that the poor control ruins the entire experience. They particularly cited jumps requiring excessive precision and slippery control, remarking that 'Richard slides from platforms so often you'll think his soles are oiled.'^[8]
