Can you solve this riddle?

We're talking MUCH earlier than either of those.

This clearly isn't ringing any bells with people so I've added another 2 lines to the clue.

Two brothers there were
But they didn't get on
They both had pots
But not of money
They would visit the other's grave
But only to laugh, not to grieve.
They sure liked their herbs
But what they brewed could be lethal

Some Cheech and Chong game?

CaptainD · Tue 10/07/2018 09:22:25

Oops sorry forgot to respond - no.

It's a one-word title.

It was releeased in the late 80s.

The game featured 2 brothers, and was in fact developed by two brothers.

The only game dev brothers I can think of from that era are the Oliver Twins. But your riddle doesn't sound like it describes a Dizzy game.

CaptainD · Tue 10/07/2018 11:11:58

Nope it's not the Oliver Twins. AFAIK they're not twins! However the brothers in the game ARE twins.

The Gardener can hurt you.

You have a cauldron.

It was released on the Bulldog label by Mastertronic.

The Oliver Twins aren't twins?

Nooooooooooo!!! They lied 🤥

CaptainD · Tue 10/07/2018 12:32:09

Oh no wait, sorry what I meant was that the brothers behind the development of thus game aren't twins AFAIK!

I (think?) the Oliver Twins were actually twins.

Feud, by the Pickford bros. Speccy, 1987.

Here's another:

A sequel this be
To a game by the sea
With folks misbegotten
In a town that is rotten

Mandle · Tue 10/07/2018 23:24:37

That's easy!

Chronicle Of Innsmouth: Mountains Of Madness!

Kweepa · Tue 10/07/2018 23:37:58

Nope! Apparently it works for several games...
The last line should have "rotten" in quotes.

Mandle · Wed 11/07/2018 01:26:29

Hehehe I was joking.

Is it Monkey Island 2?

Kweepa · Wed 11/07/2018 23:59:58

Nope.

For a clue, in a pinch,
Cast your eyes down an inch.

Quite right!
Take it away!

Oh, hahaha! That's what "eyes down an inch" meant! I thought it meant the characters in the game were tiny or something like that...

I am throwing in my cup of game history tea.

He made up his mind
but in perfection he was blind
to see that no one would find
his game of life to be kind.

Mandle · Tue 31/07/2018 00:58:46

Hitler?

Kumpel · Tue 31/07/2018 09:31:10

Well, that escalated quickly!
