Caladuril: Flame of Light

Caladuril: Flame of Light is a graphical adventure game, sort of a combination of text and graphics. You move (with smooth scrolling) with the arrow keys, but you also use standard text adventure commands like GET, CLIMB, etc. The basic premise of the game is that your character Jamarend Tarinson has to stop evil from invading the valley he lives in, by finding the magical Caladuril sword, and destroying the oppressor Silmnoleh, who possesses the evil twin sword Morduril. Much more detail (and full instructions) can be found on Jeff Noyle's page... if you follow some of the links, you can get complete instructions, the background story, and even a walk-through.

Caladuril was later followed by a sequel for the Coco 3 only, with much improved graphics, called Caladuril II: Weatherstone's End. This game was first released through Diecom Products, but after Diecom left the Color Computer community, it was re-released under Dave and Jeff's own company, Oblique Triad, along with other new games and a very decent stereo sound editing program.
