Ork is a computer game for the Amiga and Atari ST platforms. It was developed by WJS Design and published by Psygnosis in 1991.
Ork is a platform game with five levels. It takes place on an alien planet called Cisskei, where the player character, an alien called Ku-Kabul, must find his way through each level in turn. The levels are filled with puzzles to solve and enemies to kill.
Ku-Kabul is equipped with a machine gun and a jetpack. However, these must be used with care, because ammunition and fuel come in a finite supply, although replenishments can be found in some places.
Ork is noted for its theme music, composed by Tim Bartlett.
[edit] Trivia
Keeping with Psygnosis's tradition of including references to earlier games, the third level of Ork includes one bit where lemmings generate out of thin air, walk a few dozen metres, then jump off a cliff.
