A little correction to your correction - the movie's based (fairly loosely) on the first two books of the Prydain Chronicles ('The Book of Three' and 'The Black Cauldron'), and the game based on the movie.

Disney made some rather questionable (IMHO) deviations from the book in many ways, I think. I haven't actually seen the whole movie though. Might be a decent film in its own right.

Well, being that my SN is Taran, i think it's plausible to discern that I got my name FROM Lloyd Alexander's books. And being that I'm such a geek that i would call myself Taran, it's also plausible to discern that i have a good opinion on the Movie and/or games. Basically it's like this. Disney Effed up. Watching the movie after reading the books made me so mad that i refuse to play games like this that pretty much state they're based off the movie (Go Go Gadget Run-on Sentence!). The Black Cauldron wasn't even mentioned until the second book, and even then, many key characters were left out and/or introduced in completely skewed ways. In Essence, the movie portrays a completely different story than what Mr Alexander wrote. The only things they have in common is 1) The names of the characters/objects and 2) see number 1. ok, that's enough Ranting... enjoy the game if you must, but only do so if you're more open minded than I am regarding Mr Alexander's Creation.

This is the game that really got me into computer games, especially Sierra games. I played it a ton as a kid. It's not perfect, but there's a lot about it that I still appreciate to this day.
