Description
A game based on the book and movie of the same name with additional elements form Norse mythology. Done in the Zelda-RPG style.
Talks between the English speaking developers and Japanese speak publishers broke down. and even though the game was finished, it was never published. Development carts (prototypes) were made and sent to publisher; current whereabouts unknown. The comunication difficulty can be summed up with this helpful comment from the publisher, "There are bugs. Please fix them." This was a monumental task for only 4 people at Eurocom to attempt. The publisher had many more staff who'd actually found the bugs already, but getting this information to Eurocom was problematic.
The four people at Eurocom ended up doing jobs outside their normal training in order to get the game working. Neil Baldwin, the composer, engaged in map building, programming triggers and programming scripts for the game.
