|  Introduction | | This game is based on the (childrens') book "The Saga of Erik the Viking" by Terry Jones, published in 1983. The very Terry Jones directed a movie named "Erik the Viking" which was released in 1989. However, the movie is not based on his novel and thus has nothing to do with this game. |
