Name the game - part 4

[Guynemer]

Box. Came out in 1990.


You thought it was rubbish? I thought it was terrific. Very atmospheric. Ahead of its time in many ways.

Damn............too late again. RotD was a great game, indeed ahead of its time.

Right, I played this on my Amiga but it may have come out on other platforms too, though I doubt it.
Confusingly, it had a different title in America, so I don't know what it was called in Europe. *

1) "Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

This is a bit of a mean clue, but you'll know why I had to start with it when you've guessed the game. (Other clues would have been too easy )


*I do know what it was called in the UK, and the US, so you can still guess!

Well, I sure like your style.

[CapTVK]

KQ3? You had type in magic formulas to create spells and brews exactly right or you would up turned into a flie or worse....

I had the privilege to see and hear it at someone who had an MT-32 attached for the sound when it was just out. Brilliant for its time

[Spaced Cowboy]

Witch Brew

[Ljube]

There are simply too many witch games out there.

I won't even try guessing this one cause I don't want to spoil possible future candidates.

We need more clues.

Yep. Oh, how Sierra has fallen.

[Buck Birdseed]

Macbeth

Oh wait, we're not guessing plays. Damn.

Time for number (2)!

1) "Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

2) Sneakers, tricksters, fiddlers and nutters! (a tiny bity of poetic licence here, but since I used Shakespeare in the first clue, then I feel I'm entitled to it! )

Now I said the clues would get easy!

[child of Thor]

was it a platform game with the title(in europe) to do with king Arthur................i'm struggling to remember the exact title

[duke o' york]

No - I have no idea what you're talking about. But it means I'm not going to put all of that into my square brackets at the bottom of my previous post.

[child of Thor]

I think it was called 'Arturus' ?? came out a couple of the 8bits too? Bit it isnt the one so never mind.....

More clues vicar?
