System
Megadrive/Genesis (depending on what continent you're from  )
Date
1994
(not so) Cryptic Clues
A platform game that's real blast.
Your enemy is an evil cat.
You really need to use your head to advance through the levels.

I didn't own a megadrive, but my sister had one, and she played this game.

It seems I got it. I'll put a new game then:
Platform: C64
Hints:
Where once there were three, now there is only one.
Ruins replace the once glorious town.
Have faith in the ones you should trust the least.

Yeah, let's try to keep it to computers most people have had... that means: C64 and Amiga...
...is Spectrum even a computer..?

Why cant we play console games? game is a game. I didnt have computers back in the 80s. In fact, it wasnt common for people to have computers back then.
I say include console into the trivia. Just because some people didn own it doesnt mean they might be interested it learning the trivia.

I guess you guys need more clues:
This game is an RPG.
The aforementioned town used to suffer from "mismangarment"
Ginger Ale is soothing to the throat.
It was developed by EA.

You never RPGed on the C-64? No Ultima?
No Bard's Tale? Which I believe is the answer...

Haha, well you're getting VERY close. But listen carefully:
The mangarment happened in the past, the current woes occured because the gods must be crazy.
Once there were three elderly men whom could judge the ability of young adventurers. Now there remains only one.
This game focuses on the robbery of pre-destination.

Very tricky.
I think it must be either Bard's Tale II or III. I'm going to go long and say Bard's Tale III.

Yeah, it's Bard's Tale III: The Thief of Fate (stealing predestination).
In Bard's Tale one there used to be a three person council you'd go to in order to level up, in the third installment two of them died of old age. Skara Brae, which had been saved in Bard's Tale I now lies in ruins due to the rise of the mad god.
Anyway, go ahead.

Two more clues:
Clue #2: Play nice or you'll get a scolding from her ladyship.
Clue #3: It's the first official "edutainment" game

Allright, I have another idea though I'm not sure if I can give you an EXACT title.
Basically, this is the game where you play the role of a traveling mathamatician whom goes around solving the problems of various villagers. The action takes place in an Ultima-esque type world. You have to solve their math problems, and in exchange they'll give you food. If you manage to do enough (I guess you solve the King's problem) you win.
For some reason I believe this game is called, "Math Quest", but I've been unable to verify this. There were a lot of other games on the disc it came with, including another fun game where you were a ruin's explorer with a gun. in order to open doors in THAT game you needed to find the GCF/LCD's of various numbers.
