Cauldron

Cauldron is a video game in the action genre developed by Palace Software, Ltd. and published by Palace Software, Ltd. originally released in 1985. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC.

In the role of a witch, you must collect the six ingredients needed to kill your archenemy, an evil pumpkin. All the ingredients are located in subway buildings, which you can only enter when you find the corresponding key. The keys are located on the surface, and you must fly with your broom to collect them.

The subway sections play out like a standard shooting game, as the broom is not affected by gravity and can fire bullets using its magical energy. Bats, fireballs and even seagulls are among the many creatures trying to stop you; contact will cost you more energy than shooting them. Energy refills are available.

Once you get underground, the game becomes a test of precision platform jumping, including some Manic Miner-style blind jumps. The six subway sections can be completed in various orders, but sometimes you reach points that can't be completed without items from other sections, so you need to backtrack a lot. Although you start with nine lives, they won't last you long at first.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
