  • Cauldron is a shoot 'em up platform game developed and published by British developer Palace Software. The game was released in 1985 for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC home computers. Players control a witch, who aims to become the "Witch Queen" by defeating an enemy called the "Pumpking". Designed by Steve Brown and Richard Leinfellner, Cauldron originated as a licensed video game of the horror film Halloween. Brown eventually altered the game to use a theme based on the Halloween holiday. The mix of two genres resulted from Brown and Leinfellner wanting to make a shoot 'em up and platform game, respectively. The developers realized that there were no technical limitations preventing the genres from being combined. The game received praise from video game magazines, who focused on the graphics and two different modes of play. A common complaint was Cauldron's excessive difficulty. The following year, Palace released a direct sequel titled Cauldron II: The Pumpkin Strikes Back. (en)

  • Cauldron est un jeu vidéo de plates-formes publié par Palace Software en 1985 sur Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64 et ZX Spectrum. Dans celui-ci, le joueur contrôle une sorcière devant vaincre une citrouille pour devenir la reine des sorcières. Le jeu devait à l’origine être basé sur La Nuit des masques mais Steve Brown, son concepteur, décide finalement de s’inspirer des vacances d’halloween. Brown et Richard Leinfellner, le programmeur du jeu, n’ayant pas les mêmes préférences, ils décident de mélanger des séquences de jeu de plateforme et de shoot 'em up dans le jeu. À sa sortie, le jeu est bien accueilli par la presse spécialisée qui met en avant ses graphismes et son gameplay varié mais regrette l’excessive difficulté du jeu. Le jeu a bénéficié d'une suite baptisée Cauldron II : La Citrouille contre-attaque et publié en 1986. (fr)
  • Cauldron è un videogioco di avventura dinamica pubblicato nel 1985 per gli home computer Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Enterprise e ZX Spectrum dalla britannica Palace Software. Ha per protagonista una strega dal classico aspetto di vecchia con scopa volante e calderone ("cauldron" in inglese) della pozione magica. Secondo il designer Steve Brown, la Palace Software aveva ottenuto i diritti per trarre un gioco dal film Halloween, ma poi si preferì realizzarne uno ispirato al concetto di Halloween in generale.La prima edizione per Spectrum includeva nella stessa cassetta anche The Evil Dead (1984), che per questo computer non era mai stato pubblicato prima. Cauldron ottenne generalmente giudizi molto buoni dalle riviste dell'epoca. A volte è stato anche descritto come molto difficile.Ebbe come seguiti Cauldron II: The Pumpkin Strikes Back (1986) e (1992). (it)
