[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)

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!
