This game was gorgeous but too hard, reviews now and then all say the same thing. I love watching you play this, I'd say we're on a par....which isn't saying much is it!! Have you seen the video from DerSchmu...

@deethr Hey mate - Yeah, tough game. Isn't it funny when you go back to these games years later thinking you'll be much better at them, in this case I think I was much worse!!! Yeah, I've seen DerSchmu's video, he made it look soooo easy!!! There's no way I'm goingto be getting to that level, I'd be pulling my hair out!! Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting. See you around.

Originally this game was called Halloween and it was renamed Cauldron on Commodore 64 I heard also.

@dogcatmouse23 Yeah, seems strange to change the name, especially after they bought the rights to it. Turned out to be a great game though, but tough as hell!

wow cool game and some interesting history behind it :D i like the graphics and the sound effects there nice. gameplay looking good ;D. but how would this of worked as a Halloween tie in movie game ? i dont remember Michael Myers flying around on a broom stick hehe

@davidhass3lh0ff Thanks Mate!! Yeah, it is weird that they bough the right to the name, and then created something that had no relation to the film at all. Hmmm. maybe it is just one of those 8-bit urban legends.
