[Found: Son of Zeus] Help Identifying a game please (from my memories alone!)
Hello
I am really struggling to remember the name of a game I used to play on my A500+. It was a game set in a fantasy world (sword and sorcery) where you would move around the map and occasionally get dragged into combat with mythical beasts. The combat was a 2D side scrolling affair and you fought with harpies (showing a breast if I remember rightly ) and centaurs etc. I would have been very young at the time and I found the combat ridiculously challenging. I would love another crack at it to show it who is boss! |

no wasn't that one mate. I don't think you could go up and down in the fighting bits, just left and right a la Super Mario (although it was nothing like Mario so bad example)

Thread moved from the Nostalgia & memories section to the Looking for a game name ? section

Another guess; possibly Archon: The Light And The Dark?

OMG!!!
Must say that I'm very surprised as I had never even heard of this back in the day; plus lets not forget that it's a demo of an [unreleased] game so...

@DamienD
Some people would've seen the coverdisk demo back in the day released by Amiga Action. Pity the game was never released as it looked like it would've been a cracker! http://amr.abime.net/issue_104_coverdisks EDIT: Just saw that Mick Tinker (infamous dev of the unreleased and very ambitious Amiga BoXeR / Inside Out-Siamese PCI hardware) was the main coder of Son of Zeus, so it's not bloody surprising that the game was never released!

...just emulate these A500 games via WinUAE and keep your real Amiga CD32 console for CD32 games |
