Torvak the Warrior is a hack and slash platform game published by Core Design in 1990 for the Amiga [2] and Atari ST. [3]
The game received a 52% score from Amiga Power 4 years after it released, with the review stating "When Torvak jumps, he flies through the air with the grace of a big blue whale climbing a ladder, and the game quickly degenerates into a race to reach the end of each level before boredom completely overcomes you and you're forced to load up Total Carnage to have a bit of fun. Being old in itself isn't a crime, but being old and crap most certainly is." [5]
