First game I ever played...
This was the first game I ever played for the Apple IIc my Dad let me use when he was watching TV. I had Pac-Man and Black Cauldron. Black Cauldron is a side-scrolling adventure game using the keyboard. Commands such as Talk, Open, etc. were typed in and the main character was moved around using the arrow keys.
Unfortunately, I was much too young to appreciate this game and only was able to get about half way through before I died each time. The game was entertaining, but much too hard for a little kid. It also did not come with a manual, so the commands were not intuitive. Sierra and Disney could have done much better. I give it a 4/10. Good idea, but poor follow through.
