The Horde (ザ・ホード) is a Sega Saturn action simulation game developed by Silicon Knights. A port of the titular 1994 Toys for Bob game The Horde, it was first published in the United States by Crystal Dynamics in 1996, and was brought to Europe and Japan and Europe by BMG Victor later that year.

Versions

The Horde is largely similar to the original 3DO Interactive Multiplayer game, with the exception of featuring higher quality video sequences.
