Armorik
The Viking hero named in the title.
How it plays
The game uses a side-view platforming perspective. Armorik moves through individually structured stages, jumps across gaps and platforms, avoids hazards, and attacks hostile creatures while working toward the end of each conquest.
Progression is stage-based: completing one area advances the Viking through the sequence of eight conquests. The available information does not reliably document additional modes, persistent upgrades, passwords, or a detailed inventory system.
Plan your run
Learn the timing of each jump before moving quickly through a stage. Approach enemies cautiously, since a missed jump or poorly timed attack can cost a life.
Explore the full route of each conquest when safe. Check platforms and side paths for useful pickups or safer approaches, but do not assume that every apparent route is required.
Meet the cast

Before you begin
Use controlled jumps rather than rushing across unfamiliar platforms.
Study enemy movement patterns before committing to an attack.
Keep a safe position near platform edges and hazards.
Armorik the Viking: The Eight Conquests is a side-scrolling action platformer developed and published by Infogrames for DOS. The player controls Armorik, a Viking hero travelling through a sequence of hazardous stages and confronting enemies along the way. Its design follows the compact, challenge-focused platform games common on home computers around 1990. Exploration, jumping, timing, and combat are more important than complex story systems. The game is chiefly remembered as an early Infogrames action title, with a straightforward structure built around eight conquests rather than a large cast or elaborate character development.
