The Horde (ザ・ホード) is a 1994 simulation game developed by Toys for Bob for the 3DO and DOS-based PCs, published by Crystal Dynamics. In late 1995, the game was brought to the Sega Saturn, in a conversion developed by Silicon Knights. It is nearly identical to the 3DO original, with the only difference being slightly higher video quality.
