Talisman

Talisman is a puzzle platformer where the player is sent on a mission by a king to retrieve a sacred talisman. It has been shattered into six pieces by the evil baron Zaldremon whose forces are now terrorizing the land. The player, who is a wizard, has to recover all the pieces, reassemble the talisman and rid the land of the evil forces.

The game is similar to the Dizzy series, with more focus on puzzle-solving and exploration than combat. The enemies that appear can not be fought and have to be avoided since any contact with them will lead to energy being lost. When the energy bar becomes empty one of five lives is lost. The puzzle-solving involves picking up items (two can be carried at a time) and combining them or using them at the right location. Items can be combined logically or by using magic. With the right ingredients, it's possible to cast spells that change the wizard into a mouse or a bird. As a mouse, it is possible to get into small places but not to jump while as a bird one can reach high places but not go through doors or use objects.
