Sierra Saturday: Let's Play The Black Cauldron - Episode 1 - Journey of the Oracle-pig
10It's Sierra Saturday! Let's Play The Black Cauldron! The video game of the animated feature that almost bankrupt Disney Animation Studios! A magical romp around an enchanted realm, where our young hero, Taran, escorts a pig across the countryside, only to get roped into a grand quest, full of peril, and too many sidekicks.
In this episode:
Young pig farmer wannabe Taran, assistant to the inadequately explained Dallben, is sent on a quest to escort a magical pig that's worth far more than his own life, to the home of a magical faerie.

The Black Cauldron is the Sierra EGA adventure game based off of the last pre-Michael Eisner Disney animated film of the same name. With Disney not having a game studio of their own, they approached Sierra to create a movie spinoff using the "Spacebar & Enter Key" interface developed by Al Lowe for "Troll's Tale". The game features a surprisingly advanced multi-ending plot, that allows the player to not only follow the plot of the original movie, but use their own imagination to solve puzzles (And rewarding them for being innovative)!
The NPCs are playing The Black Cauldron using DOSBox, with Tandy Audio.
Sierra Saturday is a weekly series on the Level 0 NPCs channel, where Matt & Luke relive their childhoods playing classic adventure games of the '80s and '90s (and beyond?). Sierra adventure games were a special breed of dark humor, brutally unfair puzzles and unforgettable characters, and we hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane with us.
