The Horde
0 plays 1994 #Action
The Horde is a hybrid action-strategy video game developed for 3DO by Toys for Bob. It was published in 1994 by Crystal Dynamics, then ported to the Saturn, MS-DOS, and FM Towns. In The Horde, the player constructs buildings and defenses, then protects them against attacking monsters. The game includes full-motion video sequences with Kirk Cameron as Chauncey and Michael Gregory as Kronus Maelor. Video sequences were reduced to slide shows (with sound) in some versions.
The MS-DOS port was bundled with the RealMagic MPEG playback card as a demonstration of the card's abilities to play back full-motion MPEG video via the card's hardware decoder.
The music was composed by Burke Trieschmann and won Computer Gaming World's Premiere Award for Best Musical Score in 1994.
