Adventure The Black Cauldron 1

In this adventure, the player takes on the role of Taran, the assistant Pig-Keeper of Caer Dallben in the kingdom of Prydain. Shortly after the start of the game, Taran learns that his favourite pig Hen Wen is able to conjure visions. This information is also known to the evil Horned King, who wants to use Hen Wens powers in order to obtain the location of the Black Cauldron, which will allow him to raise an army of undead warriors.

Clearly this is not a desirable option, so Taran goes on a mission to try and keep Hen Wen safe.

Something that's quite neat about this game is that it allows for different endings. You can for instance bring Hen Wen safely to the fairy folk, but it is also possible for her to be abducted requiring you to go rescue her from the Horned King's castle. At the end of the game, there are also multiple ways of dealing with the cauldron, and the option you pick will influence your score.
