Released: 1986

This game is based on the 1985 Disney movie of the same name. Unlike the other AGI Sierra games which came first, this game does not have a typing interface, but rather a set of commands such as look, activate and use. This was in order to make the game easier to use as it was intended for a younger audience. Although, I myself was nine at the time, and I definitely could've typed, and probably would've perfered it to have typing. Perhaps this was just a sign of what was to come with the point and click interface.

Plot: The land of Prydain has fallen under the reign of the evil Horned King. Now in order to complete his conquest, he seeks the mythic black cauldron, a cauldron that has the capability to raise an army of unstoppable undead. Only a pig named Henwen can show the location of the cauldron. You are Taran, the pig-boy of Caer Dallben and keeper of Henwen. It now becomes your quest protect Henwen, to find the black cauldron first, and save the land from the evil Horned King. Can you do it? Play this game and find out.

Availability: Unfortunately, this title is not available at retail and it hasn't been since the early 1990's. It's possible you may find it in a bargain bin at a software store, but I doubt you will. I've never found one there. Your best bet is the Abandonware Webring. I don't condone pirated games, but if Sierra doesn't want us to pirate games, they should make them available.
