	The Black Cauldron (game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The game was based on the Disney movie, The Black Cauldron, which was itself based on the Chronicles of Prydain books by Lloyd Alexander.
		However, in order to make the game more accessible to children, the text parser was removed in favor of an interface in which the function keys were used to perform various actions.
		The game actually featured plot branches and multiple endings depending on many variables, such as whether Hen Wen the pig was saved, how the cauldron was destroyed and what reward was chosen afterwards.

	Olympic Games - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the Olympic Games were seen as a "pagan" festival threatening Christian hegemony, and in 393 the emperor Theodosius outlawed the Olympics, ending a thousand year period of Olympic Games.
		The so-called Intercalated Games (because of their "off-year" status) were held in 1906 in Athens, as the first of an alternating series of Athens-held Olympics.
		In 1956 the Games were boycotted by the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland, because of the withdrawal of the Hungarian Uprising by the Warsaw Pact - furthermore the Melbourne Games were boycotted by Cambodia, Egypt, Iraq and the Lebanon, because of the Suez Crisis.

	The Black Cauldron
		Black Cauldron was released for the IIgs 1987, in a joint venture between Sierra and Disney.
		The Horned King wishes to kidnap Hen Wen, and use the pig's powers to obtain the whereabouts of the Black Cauldron, which can provide him with the means to assemble an army of the undead.
		The game is still fun to play and I'm quite pleased to have a copy in the archive as I was beginning to give up on continuing the search for the title, as I hadn't found any proof a IIgs version actually existed.

	DVDFILE.COM: THE BLACK CAULDRON review
		The Black Cauldron remains one of the darkest stories ever told by Disney, at least in animated form.
		Since The Black Cauldron is one of the bastard stepchildren of Disney animation, so unfortunately, they did not take very good care of this film.
		The audio for The Black Cauldron quite frankly stunned me. While the tracks sound a bit dated, the new 5.1 Dolby Digital mix was great.

	The Black Cauldron: Gold Classic Collection (1985)
		While I'm delighted to be able to see The Black Cauldron presented with its full theatrical framing intact, the image on the DVD has some problems that make this releases less than a total success.
		Black levels could look a bit bland and drab as well, though they usually appeared acceptably deep and dense.
		Unfortunately, "Quest for the Black Cauldron" doesn't follow in the footsteps of The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr.

	The Black Cauldron (1985)
		World domination, the power to control the evil lurking within the cauldron, is of course the reward for gaining its use.
		Thereupon the chase is on to save Hen Wen and/or find The Black Cauldron and destroy it before The Horned King can gain its powers and raise an army of the living dead.
		Blacks certainly do not have great depth to them and the overall feel here is again always a little soft.

	Abandonia forums -> Black Cauldron, The
		I think this game was intended to be played by children, so the function key controls are for ease of play.
		The remake version uses the graphics from the original, so the graphics are exactly the same as depicted in the screenshots in the review, but instead of typing the remake uses point and click interface.
		The movie was based on a book, the same book this game was based on, I've read the Black Cauldron books, good fantasy series, this is pretty weird though.

	Amazon.com: DVD: The Black Cauldron (Disney Gold Classic Collection) (1985) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Black Cauldron offers a fresh story, although not as fresh or moody as The Rescuers (1977), the atmosphere is close to Sleeping Beauty (1959), very dark but with lighter moments which were missing in other gloomy films like The Great Mouse Detective.
		THE BLACK CAULDRON was clearly rated PG for a reason--not anything in the way of graphic violence or profanity, but there are lots of scenes which do come across as nightmarish, especially those involving the Horned King.
		THE BLACK CAULDRON was originally mixed for six-track Dolby Surround, and the music by Elmer Bernstein comes across as brilliant and the dialogue separation is impeccable.

		The interface is quite a bit simpler than most of the Sierra games from this era, and it is rather short if compared to a Space Quest or King's Quest game.
		The game plot is somewhat disjointed and sometimes it is difficult to determine what the next objective is.
		I picked this game up the other day, and got it working on DOSBox but even after all these years the game was still somewhat challenging.

		While the game has a very unique interface, where instead of typing your commands you have some function keys to press to do commands like "DO" and "USE," you control the movement of your character by clicking your mouse cursor on the desired point on the screen.

		Adventure games have always had low replay value to begin with, since once you solve all the puzzles and follow the story to its conclusion, there usually isn't anything gained by going back through it again.
		The Thief games are much more like adventures than shooters or RPGs, though they do require a bit more gaming coordination than a lot of adventure-game types would like, and the majority of "character interaction" consists of a blunt object to the back of the head after eavesdropping on them.
		Unlike adventure games of old, however, all these switches are pretty much alike and you don't have to lose sleep figuring out the exact words to type in to get them to work.

		Anyway, this was a so-so game by Sierra that debuted around when the movie was released.
		It was updated one or two times to newer versions of the interpreter and some copyright lines were added or removed from the title screen, but everything else stayed the same...it was different from any other Sierra adventure game of the time, being that no typed input was used.
		Unlike many of the earlier Sierra games, there are many endings to the game.

		Based on the Disney book and movie of the same name, The Black Cauldron puts you in the shoes of Taran, a young boy who must save a magic pig from being killed by an evil sorceror.
		Aimed more at a younger audience, TBC involves a simplified version of the AGI interpreter, using the function keys (F3, F6 and F8) to look, pickup and use things.
		Even still, the game is quite hard, and I cant really see anyone under the age of 16 finishing it without a solution.

		The Black Cauldron (Sierra On-Line, 1986 or 1987)
		While the interface was not all that good (with function keys being used to control all of the game's actions), this was a fun little game that provided a good and light-hearted diversion in a fantasy realm that was more believable and colorful than the early King's Quest games.
		Though no heavy mental challenge to even the beginning game player, it is a bright and entertaining little game, worthy of an afternoon's play.

		The Black Cauldron is a fun adventure for kids based on a quite obscure Disney's movie of the same name, which was in turn based on the popular "Chronicles of Prydain" series of children's books by Lloyd Alexander.
		The feature that sets The Black Cauldron apart from other Sierra adventure games at the time is the lack of parser.
		The game overall is well-designed, with appropriate pacing and logical puzzles that won't frustrate kids.

		Usually The Black Cauldron is completely looked over and not acknowledged as a great diney film.
