Valhalla Classics Episode 1 is a Nintendo DS port of the classic Amiga/PC speech adventure. The original was released in 1994, and subsequently re-released for pc. The latter version had re-recorded sound and improved graphics and smoother animation. It also included episodic levels, and as such, the three games were split up by level. There's no save function, background music in this version.
It was ranked 2nd in the NEO Spring Coding Compo 2009, Game section.

User guide
The premise of Valhalla is to find your way out of the crypt by solving the puzzle within. Puzzles are solved by either placing objects on alters/skulls etc or by inserting objects into holes etc. To help you solve these puzzles, there are various maps and books hidden around. Find them and read them to unlock their secrets.
Somethings can harm the Prince, His health is represented by a bar on the left of the top screen. Once this health reaches zero, it's game over. Find health potions to restore your health.
Other puzzles require you to drink a potion to solve, potions don't last forever, once taken, the bar on the right will slowly decrease. Once it's empty, the effects of the potion cease.
NOTE that intro can be skipped by pressing start if you don't want to read it, otherwise touch the screen to continue.
