Now we're getting somewhere. Last hints for #47 today, I'll drop two at once for this last round

47: This early 3D PC game is mostly an ego-shooter, but also an adventure game and has some strategy mixed into it.

1. Hint: As long as you have summoned a castle and it is still standing, getting killed will respawn you there, otherwise it's game over.
2. Hint: You're not firing weapons, but rather casting spells that you learn from scrolls you can find in the levels.
3. Hint: Some of the spells can later be upgraded, so a fireball can become a rapid fireball that you're shooting like a machinegun - as long as you have enough mana for it that is.
4. Hint: Some spells allow you to create craters and Volcanoes, which is quite impressive considering the 3D is fully software rendered (as in, not handled by a GPU)
5. Hint: Like #48, this one also has an Arabian Nights setting
6. Hint: Mana gets released from monsters, ennemies and castles in form of colored balls. You need to change them to your color for the hot air balloon from your castle to collect them.

Uhh, Magic Carpet?

Actually Magic Carpet 2, but since both play mostly the same, I'll award it anyway
