The Viking Child

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You are Brian, a Viking child called to meet the prophecy for his destiny by entering the Halls of Valhalla and battling his way through 16 different and hostile levels, from medieval castles to mountains and thick forests, swarmed by an army of foes under the command of evil Norse god Loki. The game looks and plays similarly to Super Wonder Boy (a.k.a. Wonder Boy in Monster Land) as it has you collecting hidden coins, upgrading Brian's weapons and visiting shops (to spend the coins collected). Though its similarities to Super Wonder Boy, The Viking Child has better visuals and brilliant sound. It is a so great and so fun to play action platform with lots of nice details and touches. Prophecy I: The Viking Child is a must-have game in any system it's available and will surely entertain most -if not all- platform gaming fans!

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The DOS visuals are pretty close to the Atari ST version carrying the same details and the same number of colors, but running smoother. Note that the Amiga version is better than both its counterparts, in terms of colors and background details. On the other hand, the DOS sound is awesome (provided that you have a SoundBlaster compatible card or an AdLib that will just do the job fine. The only downside on this version is the lack of having both sound effects and music while playing.
