There have been several computer games set in the Warhammer Fantasy setting.
Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat (1995) and its sequel Warhammer: Dark Omen (1998), both produced by Games Workshop, are real time strategy games. As Mercenary Commander Morgan Bernhardt, you fight a series of RTS-battles. The action is seen in isometric 3D from a rotatable overhead view. Through the game, you manage your army, replacing losses and adding new regiments. The game is set in the rich Warhammer-universe and makes good use of the vast background, creating a deeply engrossing storyline apart from standard fantasy clichés.
A Warhammer MMORPG Warhammer Online was in development, but was cancelled in June 2004 towards the end of its development after Games Workshop decided the roll out costs were too high. Work on the game never actually stopped though as its developer Climax Online (formerly Climax Nottingham) continued the project using its own funding. Climax Online reported in late 2004 that it was close to securing a publishing agreement.
