Hercules

Hold onto your hats. This is a mega-game if ever I saw one. Okay, I own up. It involves that horrible little blocky character running around the ledges. How interesting. Based on the Greek myth, the storyline makes considerably more interesting reading than the gameplay.

Colours on the screen are rather dreadful too. Sometimes it's very hard to read the text which pops up after you have been killed and at other times during play. It's really quite bad and not even worth the asking price of £1.99. The movement is okay, but the whole sorry package isn't much better than a type-in listing.
