Ok, this has been bugging me for days.

Back in the early-to-mid-80s, my family went to a party at someone's house, and they had a D&D themed video game for their home console. (I thought it was an Odyssey 2, or perhaps Intellivision, but it could have been a more esoteric console.)

I remember being absolutely blown away by it at the time, we were used to Adventure, fer chrissake.

Here's what I *think* I remember:

- It was an official TSR [A]D&D IP
- It was the first in a planned series, around elements (fire, water, etc, duh you get it)
- There was an actual prize of some sort for the first player to complete all four (five?) games
- There was a huge ad push in gaming magazines
- They never published all the games

I thought the name was DragonFire, but after looking at the game I'm 99% that isn't it. I seem to recall the boxes having that metallic foil printing though.

This ring any bells for anyone?

Update: SwordQuest. Atari.

Are there any young people on this forum?

No.

Next question? XD

Actually, on further poking about, it turns out I merged two games in my head. The SwordQuest series had the elemental tropes and contest for real prizes. The one I vaguely remembered the screenshots from *was* on Intellivision, and it *was* AD&D IP. Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Cloudy Mountain.

Swordquest was AWFUL.

It felt like it was in the same vein as ET and Indiana Jones. The comic book that came with it was pretty dope, but otherwise: it stunk.

MY OPINION.
