About this game

Brian Bloodaxe follows a Viking who awakens in 1983 after spending hundreds of years trapped in an ice block. Determined to conquer Britain, Brian must explore 100 locations, find the Crown Jewels, and sit on the throne.

Each area contains objects whose purposes must be discovered. Brian can carry up to three objects at once, using them to block monsters or create extra platforms. Dropped objects remain where they are placed, helping him cross otherwise impassable gaps.

Monsters including ducks, Daleks, Mad Scotsmen, and Turkish soldiers patrol the locations, making exploration and object placement more challenging.
