The Vikings

Concept Idea

Robert White, head of software company Durell, entered into negotiations with Kele Line for the production of three versions of new game Chain Reaction, and a contract was signed. The project was abandoned at the PCWShow however, as Kele Line had failed to meet delivery dates. Instead Robert suggested that Kele Line should produce a straightforward Rambo style game, perhaps involving Vikings in the scenario. Kele Line was founded in August 1986, and just before Christmas there was a launch party in the company's office, a few miles outside Copenhagen. The Vikings had arrived.
