About this game
Thor's Hammer puts you inside a fantasy world viewed through a first-person window. The starting village leads into a larger quest involving passages, creatures and magical abilities. Health, magic, equipment and the compass stay visible around the playfield, while the automap records areas you have seen.
Use the arrow keys to walk and turn. Shift makes you run, and Alt changes turning into sideways movement. Ctrl attacks with the equipped weapon when a monster is within reach. Space performs the appropriate action on the object or person directly ahead, such as opening a door or reading a sign. Spells are unavailable until you learn them and have enough magic.
This is Escape Programming's 1.1 shareware release, published by MVP Software, containing Episode 1: The Trial. Select that episode with Enter; Esc skips the opening story. Original files, the manual and the license remain intact. The original license describes a 30-day trial and registration requirement; this is not the registered trilogy. Its historical ordering details are preserved for reference, not presented as a current purchase service.
