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.
