Background Story
One-hundred twenty years ago, there was an evil king and queen who terrorized their subjects. Especially the king wanted more and more power and therefore teamed up with a dark wizard. Together, they learned about a powerful writing feather, the Cosmic Forge, by a demon they had captured. The demon claimed that everything written down by the feather would become true. They managed to get hold of the Cosmic Forge and started to create horrible things. However, after some time the wizard and the king fell out, which resulted in a battle about the control of the Cosmic Forge. This was the last thing that was ever heard about them. But now a group of heroes is determined to find out what had happened all those years ago and find the Cosmic Forge.

Bane of the Cosmic Forge is rather slightly different from its predecessor, but retaining most same general gameplay. It was the first to make use of EGA graphics, while the previous five games had used CGA. Like its predecessor, Heart of the Maelstrom, the sixth game was written and chiefly programmed by David W. Bradley.
