By the beard of Zues (The Battle of Olympus)

Game: The Battle of Olympus
Released: 1989
Status: Beat it.
Rating: 9/10

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Where has this game been all my life? This is definitely a lost treasure on the NES. See, this is the kind of game that I started this blog for. I knew there were games that were good that I never played as a child and this is one of them. It's much like Zelda 2 but set within greek mythology. I know many people don't love Zelda 2, but I think if it had not been a sequel to such a great game, it wouldn't have had such a hard time. This game has no such adversity to overcome. There is no leveling up, just collection of items to improve your hero as you visit many common locales from the myth's. It's quite a difficult game, but well worth the time. So if you too missed this game back in 1989, I suggest checking it out now.
