So, The Pagemaster on SNES—yeah, the one with Macaulay Culkin—is this weird little adventure where you basically run around a haunted library dodging flying books and solving puzzles. It’s based on that animated movie, but honestly, the game’s got its own vibe. You start off in this creepy, shadowy library, and before long, you’re flipping between different book genres (horror, fantasy, adventure) like some kind of literary time traveler.

The controls are a bit stiff—typical for an early '90s platformer—but there’s something charming about whacking enemies with a book or jumping over ink blots. And yeah, you’ll definitely get lost a few times because the levels loop in confusing ways. Still, if you’re into weird licensed games or just want to see pixelated Culkin summon a wizard, it’s a fun little nostalgia trip.
