Warlord (Interceptor Software)

Set in the middle of the first century AD. Onward and ever northward pushed

the Roman legions, led by the feared Vespasian. The Celtic hillfort tribes,

unprepared for this type of conflict, were conquered one by one. All

resistance was pushed aside. Then, abruptly, at the Scottish border, the

Roman advance faltered and was halted by the intervention of a warrior tribe,

led by a powerful Northern Warlord. Every attempt to break into the Scottish

heartland was met with savage opposition. Quietly and secretly, at first, the

gods of both sides took a hand in the struggle, to force a conclusion. The

intensity of the fighting soon escalated, as did the involvement of the gods,

until such was the ferocity of the conflict, that open warfare between gods

was imminent. Fearing the world's destruction from a direct confrontation the

gods declared a truce and an alternative solution was agreed upon. A champion

from each army would be transported, through time and space, to one of the

Celtic Otherworlds. The side whose champion returned to the real world first,

would be declared the victor. The Romans chose their finest centurion, the

Celts their Warlord.

You take the role of the Celtic Warlord. You must find the way back to the

real world before the Roman, who is equally determined. Arrayed against you

are many strange puzzles and creatures only dimly remembered from the Old

Religion. You must be wary, the possibility of divine intervention also

remains.

Prepare yourself for the greatest battle of your life.
