Riverworld is a PC game released in 1998 by Cryo Interactive, based on the series of novels by Philip José Farmer.

In the game, the player takes the role of Richard Burton, the nineteenth century explorer.

The game begins with a cinematic sequence showing what happens to Burton after he has died – how he comes to enter Riverworld.

Riverworld is a real time strategy game,[1] similar to Microsoft's Age of Empires.

These areas of land can be captured by gaining control of the central grail stone – a mushroom shaped object in the centre of each.
