Storm Warrior follows the current trend for arcade style adventures. It has five levels of play and twelve action-packed screens which see the Storm Warrior attempt to destroy the Secret Skull. For this is his quest!

It comes from the newly formed Front Runner team - formerly K-Tel.

Although the graphics are crude for the C64, gameplay is excellent. Each new screen offers a new challenge. Want to find out what they are? Then read on...

To reach the Bridge of Eternity, his first goal, the Storm Warrior must use his light lance to deflect an energy sphere past the Guardian of the Light Barriers. The Guardian fires energy bolts at our hero in 'Bridge of Eternity' and gain possession of the light carpet which will take him further on his journey. He has to fight the Barbarians to get the carpet of course!

The number of Barbarians depends on the level of play.

If he gets past the Barbarians, the Storm Warrior flies through a storm towards the 'Island of Doom', which is shrouded in darkness, visible only during lightning flashes. A nice graphic touch this! He is under constant attack by Storm Birds intent on dragging him off to the top of the screen. If they catch him three times, he will lose one life.

Once on the island, our hero is shaken but not stirred by an earthquake and a warning by the Giant Demon. He enters the Shaft of Darkness avoiding Bats, Demons and falling rocks.

Now the Storm Warrior is ready for the ultimate test - the Catacombs within which lies the Chamber of Evils and the Sacred Skull.

Many challenges await. The way through these deadly caverns requires careful thought and planning.

The Chamber of Evils is the last test. Here Storm Warrior, floating weightless, must use his light lance to deflect himself into the exact position to destroy the Sacred Skull.

As I've already mentioned, the graphics are on the crude side - but the concept is great. This warrior should brew up a storm amongst games players everywhere. Definitely worth buying.
