Rune is a 3D action game in which you take the role of Ragnar the Viking, mightiest warrior of a byegone age. It uses the Unreal Tournament engine which also makes it one of the most beautiful straightforward hack-'n'-slash action games ever made. There is a full single player game as well as a multiplayer component in case you should get fed up of the AI.

Trivia

The game came with a "Free Nordic Cruise Competition", offering the opportunity to win a four-day cruise break to Norway for two people with Fjord Line by completing and returning the typical tick box question card.

Here's the blurb from the card;

"Discover the true beauty of a country once inhabited by Vikings. Experience for yourself the magnificent scenery of Norway on a 4-day cruise on M/S Jupiter. Visit Stavanger and Haugesund and enjoy an overnight stop in the delightful city of Bergen.

Simply return this card, complete with your details, and you will be automatically entered into the competition."

This was included in the UK release, unsure about others
