Just wondering if this is a rare appleII game, never saw it before but made by the kings quest people maybe rpg collectors know..
this one is kinda weird wondering if anyones seen one before. Works on Genesis but you have to power on/off to switch between the games.

I don't know about the Genesis game, but Apple II games (except for the first copies of Ultima) start at about a buck or two and go down from there. :(

The Genesis game is an HK bootleg.

Historically speaking, if I remember correctly, the Black Cauldron game was torturous for the relationship between Sierra and Disney. Ken Williams of Sierra really wanted to keep Disney on his good side, because those games meant $$$...Ken's wife Roberta Williams, who directed most of the actual game design, positively hated working with the Disney people because it seemed like every other idea that would make for a good game would get an "Oh no, we can't have our characters doing that!" or some similar veto from Disney. So yeah, it's history in the making.
Um...you wanna buck for that? ;)

That copy of The Black Cauldron looks to be in good shape :)
(I will beat Flack's offer by $2 for a total of $3! Hah, beat that. There aren't any copies on eBay; take that as you will.)
Sort of an obscure license, too. Points for that.

I think that the Black Cauldron game should fetch around $15-$20 if its complete and in good shape. There's a decent amount of competition for Apple II games on eBay. I know this because I collect Apple II games myself. The fact that it's a Sierra adventure title adds to its appeal.
