The Pagemaster was released in conjunction with the Macaulay Culkin part live-action part cartoon feature film released in 1994. A character can be guided through a selection of levels based around themed books, ranging from horror to adventure and fantasy worlds. Magic can be used, and stomping on enemies to death by jumping on their heads is permitted. Enemies include bats, flying books, giant hands, ghosts, pirates and many more. The PC version of the game is completely different, being an interactive adventure game, and bearing a different plot rather than borrowing the movie's plot. The PSone version was to be published by Fox Interactive & developed by Probe Software Inc. and Mammoth Micro Productions. It was to be like the SNES game, with digitally remastered SNES music. It would have been announced for PlayStation Store in 2010 but it was cancelled.
