This was a real epic of a game and one of my all time favourites! It was tough though and before the days of saving progress. You could get codes from the Gods you could enter at the menu, which brought you back to where you were in the game progression. However, it didn’t work consistently and inventory was not saved with this. My mom and dad would make us turn off the Nintendo off at night, but one night we covered up the power light, so they didn’t realise it was on. We left it on for what must have been at least 2 days straight to finally complete it. We had a real sense of achievement, but using Greek mythology made it a good story for its time too.
