The Magic Candle is a series of old school RPGs developed by Mindcraft much like Ultima. You control a party of adventurers in a top-down perspective environment. You can explore towns, fight monsters, talk to people, manage your inventory and even get someone of your party to work for a while in order to gain some money.

Mindcraft also developed two strategy games set in the Magic Candle universe: Siege and Ambush at Sorinor.

• The Magic Candle (1989)
• Keys to Maramon (1990)
• The Magic Candle 2: The Four and Forty (1991)
• Siege (1992)
• The Magic Candle 3 (1992)
• Ambush at Sorinor (1993)
• Bloodstone: an Epic Dwarven Tale (1993)
