Curse of Enchantia is a comic fantasy graphic adventure game developed and released by the British video game company Core Design for the PC DOS and Amiga in 1992. The game tells the story of Brad, a young teenager who has been summoned from modern Earth to the magical world of Enchantia, where he needs to find a way to break the titular curse and get back home by overthrowing an evil witch queen responsible for his displacement.
Curse of Enchantia was Core Design's first attempt in the adventure genre as they set up to compete with LucasArts and Sierra On-Line. The game features some highly unconventional and controversial game mechanics and design choices for an adventure title title from that era, including having many simple action game style sequences and being practically completely devoid of in-game text and conversations.
Nevertheless, Curse of Enchantia was generally well received upon its release, especially by the Amiga magazines. The game's graphics and animation received particular praise but its illogical puzzles were often criticized. A direct sequel to Curse of Enchantia was briefly planned but never made. Its successor, Universe, was released by Core Design in 1994.

Famous quotes containing the words curse of and/or curse:
“The modern woman is the curse of the universe. A disaster, that’s what. She thinks that before her arrival on the scene no woman ever did anything worthwhile before, no woman was ever liberated until her time, no woman really ever amounted to anything.”
—Adela Rogers St. Johns (1894–1988)
“A noble person confers no such gift as his whole confidence: none so exalts the giver and the receiver; it produces the truest gratitude. Perhaps it is only essential to friendship that some vital trust should have been reposed by the one in the other. I feel addressed and probed even to the remotest parts of my being when one nobly shows, even in trivial things, an implicit faith in me.... A threat or a curse may be forgotten, but this mild trust translates me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
