Feud was an innovative 1987 computer game for the MSX and ZX Spectrum home computers, among others. The player takes on the role of the sorcerer Learic, cursed with aging, and must fight his evil twin Leanoric before his time runs out.

In some countries it was distributed as Halloween.

Story

Learic and Leanoric are twins and powerful sorcerers who hated each other. One day, Leanoric cast an aging curse on Learic. As Learic, you have only one day in which to defeat Leanoric before dying.

Gameplay

The game found fame through its very unusual gameplay (for the time).

The only real enemy is Leanoric. To achieve your objective, you must collect many herbs scattered across the map and mix them in your cauldron to make offensive and defensive spells. You also have a compass that indicates Leanoric's location.

Leanoric, as a non-player character, has to do the same thing, collecting herbs to mix in his cauldron before hunting you down in order to attack.

The spells varied from fireballs and lightning to invisibility and even turning peaceful villagers into zombies.

A version of the game was translated to Brazilian Portuguese and is known for a bug that causes it to lock up when using the "sprites" spell, translated in this version to "devas".
