The Horde

released on Apr 01, 1994

You are Chauncey, a serving lad who saves his monarch from choking on his meal. The King rewards you with his magical sword, Grimthwacker, and a village, and the mission to go forth and prosper by felling waves of Hordlings, who are bent on eating everything in the province. The better you get at defending villagers, crops, and cows from Hordlings, the better equipped you become. Success wins you further favor from the King, along with bigger challenges and more enmity from the evil High Chancellor. There are several types of Hordlings, each with their peculiar style of picking through the edibles under your care. Success is measured by how many villagers and crops survive each season's gluttonous attacks.

An interesting, if flawed tower defense action game that sees the player taking the role of Kirk Cameron (and no, I'm not kidding that really is him lmao) building a town and keeping his folks fed while occasionally fighting orcs that show-up attempting to undo your progress. Sounds like fun on paper though the technical constraints of the 3DO and some awkward controls and combat stifle its potential somewhat.
