''Super Cauldron'' is a platform game that was programmed by [[Elmsoft|Elmar Krieger]] and released by [[Titus Software|Titus]] in 1992.
The music was composed by [[Weee!|Christian Lier]] using ''[[Soundtrakker]]''.
All graphics were PC transfers, except of the title screen which was drawn by Harris Kladis ([[Rex]]).
It was one of Titus' last releases for the Amstrad CPC, along with ''[[Prehistorik 2]]''.
