>The first one is a platformer on Amiga (500?). The main character is a wizard, and thumps his staff rythmically in the intro. The graphics were not cartoonish. I'm pretty sure you started out with a castle stage, and there was a dark blue night background.

Sounds like Wiz and Liz.

Everything about this game, merit to the bosses.
I'd describe them here but a video seems more appropriate. I dunno what Psygnosis were on but holy fuck this game was so good. What other game has the entire top half of what I now associate with Carrottop trying to impale you on teeth that you destroy...then gouge his eyes out and burst his nose apart? The first boss alone gets his eyes so battered by your cutesy magic they go completely black and with staggering red veins and pupils.

The worst for me was The Savage Pumpkin, Creepy Clock and Gatekeeper.
