Synopsis

The 16-bit box calls it “The Ultimate Challenge” and it's not a joke; This fast-scrolling platform game is one of the most challenging around. In the 8-bit versions, Hercules must complete titanic tasks, while in the 16-bit versions, his daughter Yolanda is cursed and can only free herself by completing the same tasks.

Oddly, the game's dozens of screens appear in random order, and a new screen appears after each lost life. You have no weapons to harm the creatures lurking there. The pace of the enemies is frantic, but the real originality of the game lies in the obligation to constantly stay in motion: each platform bursts into flames a few seconds after being touched.
