Download Valhalla - Before The War_Disk1 ROM – Amiga Game

Valhalla - Before The War_Disk1 is one of those classic Amiga games that sticks with you—mostly because of how weirdly atmospheric it is. You play as Infinity’s mentor, helping him stew in his jealousy-fueled revenge plot against his brother, King Garamond. The whole thing’s set in this eerie, sprawling castle where half the challenge is figuring out how to interact with anything.

You’ll spend a lot of time pressing the joystick button to bring up this little menu of icons—look, pick up, operate, that kind of thing. It’s clunky at first, but you get used to it. The puzzles? Some of them are downright cruel, in that satisfying old-school way where you’ll stare at the screen for 10 minutes before realizing you had to use the flask on the door hinge or something equally obscure.

Oh, and watch your stamina bar. Step on a trap or stand in fire too long, and it drains fast. Die, and you’re back at the start of the level—no checkpoints here. The graphics are surprisingly lush for the time, all moody shadows and flickering torches that make Valhalla feel like a place you shouldn’t be in. If you like your adventure games with a side of existential dread, this one’s got you covered.
