This Videopac+ cartridge takes you back some 1000 years into
history, to the old days when the Vikings dominated large parts of Western
Europe. You
control a heroic Viking warrior assigned to protect the magic Golden Helmet from evil
giants, dragons and other monsters. For one player.
Norseman is quite an unusual game, combining
fast-paced action with strategic thinking. The playfield is laid out in a honeycomb
pattern and reminds of today's popular conflict simulation games. The depth of the game is
surprising, you can develop different strategies and even set traps for the monsters.
Norseman has very nice hires graphics and is extremely difficult to find.
This game is a unique standout among strategy games for classic
game consoles and nicely demonstrates the processing capabilities and
graphics power of the Videopac+ consoles.
