"Curse of Enchantia" was officially revealed under this title at the European Computer Trade Show (ECTS) in April 1992, after missing the original March/April release date announced when it was known as "Zeloria". The game was planned to be released in September 1992, but got delayed again to November 1992. The game's original release was accompanied by a promotional campaign with valuable prizes (computers and money) in some magazines such as France's "Joystick". Owners of computers with newer PC operating systems need to run it using DOSBox. "Curse of Enchantia" was one of the first CD-ROM adventure games, however it can not be played from the CD directly and had to be installed on the hard drive. Virgin Games bundled it with many of the earliest PC CD-ROM drives in 1993. The game was also re-released on CD as part of "Encore Multipack", together with "Heimdall" and "Thunderhawk".
