the first ever speech adventure for the Amiga.

User Rating: 9.2 | Valhalla & The Lord Of Infinity AMI
By JamboBond | Review Date:
Way back in 1994, the first game Vulcan ever made was called Valhalla & the Lord of Infinity. It was the first ever speech adventure for the Amiga computer. It was such a resounding success that in 1995 they created Valhalla Before the War and in 1996 Valhalla & the Fortress of Eve

These three Valhalla games formed a cult following among its many users and achieved best buy awards from retailers, extensive television coverage and review scores up to 94% in the consumer press. They were not technically ground breaking games by any means but were the first Amiga games to use digital speech extensively

Vulcan believe the reason they became so popular was that they made you think. They are extremely simple to operate but very complicated in design, this demands a slow approach requiring logical and lateral thinking in order to solve the many devious puzzles

Ten years later and as a celebration of Vulcans roots, the Valhalla Classics have been resurrected with a complete re-recording of actor digital speech, revamped graphics, improved music and made available as downloadable episodes for your PC

The end result... a preservation of gaming history!

The kingdom of Valhalla is currently ruled by the Lord of Infinity.
A twisted and evil man who is feared by the people of the land.
His rule is one of betrayal based upon jealousy

His predecessor was his older brother, King Garamond, who was the true leader of the kingdom. But Infinity always believed he should have been king and so murdered Garamond and claimed the throne, marking the period known as Valhalla & the Lord of Infinity

This abominable act resulted in civil war amongst the people of Valhalla. Infinity ordered the death of all Garamond's followers and to drown the little prince, the two year old son of Garamond, who was the rightful heir to the throne. But the prince was never found. Unknown to Infinity, the bishop of Valhalla had rescued the child and fled to a neighboring kingdom

Fourteen years have now passed, and whilst in exile the prince learnt of wisdom, the history of Valhalla and most importantly, justice. Now come of age, the prince has returned to the castle of Valhalla, on a quest, to destroy his fathers murderer and take his rightful place as king of this once beautiful land
