_________________________

Like its predecessor, Hercules, Gods And Heroes is a 50 screen platform game. The player takes control of Hercules, guiding him around the screens in search of prizes. The hero walks left or right and moves vertically by jumping or climbing up and down ropes. 

 Vile creatures inhabit the platforms and make the task even trickier by roaming about on a preset course, removing one of Hercules' three lives on contact. Some static objects (stars and little plants for example) are also deadly to the touch. Just to make things worse, booby-trapped platforms pose problems by either disappearing or bursting into flames as soon as Hercules sets foot on them. 

 Occasionally the prize seems impossible to reach, but jumping into space sometimes makes a platform appear, allowing what was thought to be an inaccessible part of the screen to be reached. Springboards also help our hero to reach parts that other heroes can't reach. 

 Having collected a prize, Hercules automatically progresses to the next screen. A useful option is that when the game ends Hercules can carry on from the screen he left off at by using the option on the title screen.
