DOS games developed by 8th Day, The

The 8th Day was a UK development studio best known for character-driven action and strategy on home computers and DOS. The team is closely associated with the Norse-themed Heimdall and its sequel, titles often linked with Core Design’s publishing and co-development orbit, and later the satirical squad-based strategy Gender Wars released under SCi. Together these games showcase the studio’s range: isometric action-adventure, mythic exploration, and tongue-in-cheek tactics.
