Ancient Glory

About

Ancient Glory casts you as Hercules navigating a side scrolling world of Greek myths. You chase Medusa across Mediterranean landscapes while gathering five mystical artifacts through challenges set by gods Hermes and Athena. Hera's interference adds urgency as 17 in-game days tick down. Combat and platforming share screen time with puzzle solving each task unlocking progress toward the final showdown. The tight 17 day timer creates consistent pressure without feeling unfair. Task variety keeps repetition at bay with each relic fetch quest offering distinct environments and obstacles. For 1993 Apple II hardware the side scrolling runs smoothly with decent sprite work. Westwood Associates' early design choices favor straightforward action over complex systems making it a quick but memorable mythic romp.
