1997 Playstation: Herc's Adventure

A great game by Lucas Art, Hercules Adventure on playstation.\

The story of this game is basically about the Greek Gods with Hades being the baddie. Hades has captured Persephone the goddess of nature and decide to rule the world. So Zeus summon three heroes, Atlanta, Jason and Hercules.

As the game start you get to pick from three characters, Atlanta, Jason and Hercules, by the way you can also play 2 person mode. Play in from a "god view", you control your hero and travel through Ancient Greece and try to get help from the other Gods. Using a variety of weapons like Spears, Tridents, Pepper Breath, Garbage, you battle all sorts of nasty creatures.

Other than fighting monsters there also Boss monsters which are legendary creatures from Greek Mythology like the Hydra, Medusa and Talos. As you explore the world, you will notice a lot of posters and billboards advertising the monsters. I have no idea Ancient Greece know how to make posters and billboards at that time.

Anyway, other than that, there are a lot of mini secret areas which you can explore as well which yield valuable items that will aid you in your journry.

One thing i do not like about this game is the Saving Game option. The save points are far apart and you might just die travelling to one and you need to pay money to save your game.

Speaking of death in the game. When you die, you will travel to the underworld. In there you have to fight your way out into the living world again. If you die another time, you will be drop to underworld level 2 and so on and so forth. You can only die maximum of 6 times.

I love this game, its just simply adorable. The cartoony humours and random stuff just make this game irresistable. There are aliens, robots, refrigirators and a photo taking machine, not to mention how distort looking the Gods are. Hera, the queen of Gods is a fat. snobbish lady in this game compared to the description of her in the mythology and this goes for Athena and Dionysis as well.

All right, i will end, try to get the game, you will not regret it.
