Item Description

Hades has snatched Persephone, the goddess of spring, and without her Greece is slowly withering away. Zeus needs heroes, and the three who answer are Herc, big and buff; Atlanta, the swiftest warrior in the land; and Jason, young and street-smart. That setup tells you exactly what kind of game Herc's Adventures is: a 1997 LucasArts release, developed by Big Ape Productions, that treats Greek mythology as a playground for slapstick, sight gags and cheerfully irreverent twists on the old legends.

Viewed from above, it plays as a brawling action-adventure. Each hero brings different weapons and strengths, so choosing between Herc's raw power, Atlanta's speed and Jason's versatility changes how you handle a crowd of monsters. You roam an ancient world packed with creatures and characters lifted from myth and then given a comic spin, picking up items and power-ups as you go and working out how to push deeper toward the Underworld.

The best way to play is with a second person. Two-player co-op turns the game into a shared romp, with one hero covering while the other charges in, and the jokes land better when someone is laughing next to you on the couch. That overhead, two-player comedy formula is a big reason Herc's Adventures is often compared to LucasArts' earlier Zombies Ate My Neighbors, and it arrived during the stretch when LucasArts was as well known for humor as it was for Star Wars.

Released late in the 32-bit era for PlayStation and Saturn, it slipped past a lot of players at the time, which is exactly why it is such a fun discovery now. The Saturn library has plenty of fighters, racers and shooters; a co-op comedy romp through Greek myth from the LucasArts stable is a far rarer thing, and this is the Saturn release of it.

About the game

Ahhh...ancient Greece. A fertile land, full of wine, women, and some of the best gyros you'll ever taste. Thanks to Persephone, the Greek goddess of spring and fertility, Greece is a wonderful paradise. But now the lord of the Underworld, Hades, has gone and kidnapped Persephone, causing the land to slowly wither away! Zeus, the King of the Gods, needs help in saving her, so who do you call? None other than three of the greatest warriors in the land! You can choose from the big 'n' buff Herc, the super swift Atlanta, or the young and street-smart Jason, each of whom have their own weapons and strengths. The game's 40 levels include many further variations and pastiches of Greek mythology and legend. It's all up to you to rescue Persephone and give Hades a beatdown he'll never forget!
