All the game consists of is running along, shooting a few enemy soldiers, running along a bit further and shooting someone else. Repeat until you fall asleep. Read Review

An old, pre +2 game; sound is greatly lacking but it remains a worthwhile addition as very few people will have seen it before. Read Review

Fabulous use of colour and sumptuous backdrops abound. Let down by sheer toughness. Expect to be severely battle scarred when the lights go out. Read Review

A distinctly tacky walk-along-shooting-things game that's okay(ish) underneath. Read Review

The Story
In the far off land of Altoris, surrounded on all sides by dense woods and foul smelling swamps, there lived a peace loving people ruled by the good and gracious King Garath. Under constant attack from the Hobgoblins and Ghosts of the Swamp Land, it was only the power of the Golden Orb that kept the people safe. Now the Golden Orb has been stolen and darkness has descended over Altoris. The King summoned his only son, Zanock. "Go forth my son and recover the Golden Orb that has kept us safe for all these years" whispered the King. "Arm yourself well, for your journey will be fraught with danger. You will need all of your courage, skill and cunning if you are to recover the Golden Orb and keep our people safe for evermore".
Hints
To increase the power of your weapon, collect a glowing dagger or five glowing treasures (jewels, coins or treasure chests). To increase the range of your weapon, collect a glowing arrow. An extra life is granted for collecting 3 glowing skulls.
