Longplay and review for “Cauldron” on the Amstrad CPC!

Happy Halloween! What better way to celebrate than to bring you the classic CAULDRON from Palace Software! There’s no denying this was quite a special release at the time, compared to other games back in 1985 this really stood out thanks to it’s visuals, style, atmosphere and two different styles of gameplay. But it was also overly difficult, in fact one of the HARDEST games I’ve ever come across on the Amstrad!!!! And I’ve put off doing a longplay of this game for many years deeming its level design frustratingly broken and stupid. Along with it’s sequel, it became one of my most detested games on the Amstrad and a bit of a meme to taunt me with within the community! However, like a true Halloween horror movie it’s time I uncovered its dark past, confronted my demons and defeated them….. 🎃
