Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance is a 1997 strategy video game developed by Synergistic Software and distributed by Sierra On-Line.

Birthright: The Gorgon's Alliance is a turn-based strategy game where the player is part of a royal bloodline and one of the heirs to a throne, with the goal to take over the world.

[1] Players take on the role of ruler, or regent as they are called in Birthright, of a nation in the Land of Anuire on the continent of Cerilia.

In order to accomplish this objective, the player may use warfare, diplomacy, magic, manipulation of holdings such as guilds and temples, the establishment of trade routes.

He found its strategy elements to be "amazingly detailed", but criticized them for lacking clear documentation, and he called the role-playing section Birthright's "weakest portion".

He considered the game "a product on store shelves [that is] still in development", but praised the ambition of its designer Bob Clardy, who he compared to Gary Grigsby and Norm Koger.
