I recently came across this title and I was really surprised to see this. Particularly the subtitle, because I'm pretty sure it's a Queen reference.

Queen's 2nd album (aptly titled Queen II, see my avatar for the album cover) was a concept album about a world where there were a white and black side battling each other. Here's the tracklist:

1. Procession
2. Father To Son
3. White Queen (As It Began)
4. Some Day One Day
5. The Loser In The End
6. Ogre Battle
7. The Fairy-Feller's Master Stroke
8. Nevermore
9. The March Of The Black Queen
10. Funny How Love Is
11. Seven Seas Of Rhye

It seems obvious that it's intentional. If it was just Ogre Battle it could've been a coincidence.

So for anyone who has played this game, what kind of game is it? Are there references to a White Queen, a Fairy-Feller, a path of Nevermore, or a land called Rhye?

Oh, and before you suggest Queen was inspired by the game, the album is from 1974.
