Hundra
Somehow Loki has tricked Jorund, an old Viking king, into trespassing into the forbidden garden of the Norns. The treasures of the gods are found there, and nymphs, more beautiful than a human eye has ever beheld. Enraged, the gods banish him to the kingdom of Lukx, from where noone has ever returned.
His daughter Hundra is not going to simply accept this. If he dies in exile, he will not be going to Valhalla! So she makes the pilgrimage to Asgard and tells the gods about Loki's betrayal. They see their mistake and regret their harsh reaction, but the verdict has been spoken. So Hundra makes them an offer: For her father's freedom, she will retrieve three stolen sacred gems from the kingdom of Lukx. And that is where the game begins.
Hundra is one of the more prominent Spanish games. It saw a UK release on all three of its original platforms, but was not all too well recieved. While MicroHobby (171, May 1988) had given it five stars, Crash (61, February 1989) remained unimpressed:
Keeping to the theme of complete unoriginality we also have another run-along-and-jump arcade adventure from Mastertronic. Called Hundra (33%), it's got a Viking heroine trying to rescue her father by finding three jewels. Although graphically fair, Hundra is a simplistic platform-style arcade adventure with no frills, and certainly no thrills.
CPC Game Reviews reaches a better verdict:
This isn't a bad platform game by any means, and the graphics are colourful and appealing. However, there are numerous traps which are frustratingly difficult to avoid, meaning that lives are needlessly wasted. Despite this, it's still possible to explore most of what is a fairly good game.
There is no connection with the 1983 movie of the same name, though of course the makers of the game may have been inspired by the title.
