GAME: Impatience

Ever thought what you'd have done in the evenings 1100 years ago?

Chances are that you'd be playing a game of VIKING. Oh yea? Well, maybe not, but it would've kept you amused between bouts of pillaging and fighting (and THAT other thing....)

Viking is that other thing... A 900 year old board game, where you guide your King counter to a safe square at the edge of the board, avoiding being surrounded on three sides by your opponent's counters. If your King is surrounded on three sides then that's it, the King is dead, long live the King. To aid escape, you must use your small army of counters to remove enemy counters and safeguard your King's journey to safety. (Royal type fanfare and a large Hurrah!!)


GARTH:
A board game converted to computer. Unfortunately, the game isn't that involving and a very basic (for the SAM) conversion at that!
