Orc Attack is a frantic fixed-shooter action game developed by Chris James (programmer) with graphics by Dean M. Lock, and published in 1984 on the Commodore 64 by Creative Sparks (under Thorn EMI’s label)

In this siege-themed arcade title, you control a lone defender atop a castle wall, maneuvering across icy battlements to drop rocks on ladder-climbing orcs or grabbing a sword when they breach the ramparts

As waves of orcs escalate, the gameplay intensifies—with ninja orcs scaling walls without ladders, evil sorcerers summoning spirits, demon trolls casting lightning, and eventually boiling oil becoming available to incinerate the horde and clear the round

Despite its simplicity, Orc Attack’s strategic placement, timing, and resource management made it a memorable and challenging staple of the C64 era. Its legacy endures in retro gaming circles as a cult arcade gem with enduring play-appeal
