A 32-bit fantasy game inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Heroes of Gorluth follows a hero's quest through epic landscapes. The player battles enemies with keyboard controls, reaching eventually a strange futuristic train in the mountains where a sword's destiny is to be used. Originally a demonstration program for Philips's CD-I, it received its most notable starring role on Cinram's Amiga CD32, the system's best-selling title.
