    I think of The Battle of Olympus as one of the NES's best unsung classics. How about you guys?

      I remember playing this game for hours and hours. Definitely an enjoyable time!

      This is my absolute favorite game. I wish someone would remake it for modern consoles.

      It's a good Zelda 2 clone. And *WAY* better than Castlevania 2, in my opinion.

      Totally agree. I remember walking to Albertsons to rent a game. Albertsons wasn't known for their game rentals, but they had this, and me a my friend stayed up all weekend playing it. Good times.

      It's up there with Guardian Legend and Faxanadu as one of my favorite NES games that never really gets talked about

    NC back at it with another one of my childhood favorite games of frustration!! You're a beast for this one! You dropped this 🤏👑

    Definitely need a remake/remaster, I absolutely loved this game. Like Zelda II almost but with Greek mythology

  • @Momazo_toriel

    I always felt this game like a sequel or spin off of the legend of zelda 2, playably they are almost identical

      and Kid Icarus!

    I loved this game the only thing i didnt like as a kid was the lack of direction. It felt so expansive and freeform. Some of the things required to be done are arcane. It's a much more pleasant experience now.

    I love this game so much. The graphics, the music... It really is a masterpiece.

    Quite possibly the hardest password system in history.

    All time classic for me. Loved playing this growing up, I usually do a run or two every year.
    I also had Faxanadu but Olympus is the best of the two imo. It was more challenging to figure out and the fighting is harder, plus the hints you gather make sense, are well translated and can be pieced together to advance.

    This looks like a fusion of Kid Icarus and Zelda 2.

      Looks like the same game engine. Quite a few games have used this game engine.

    My mom got me this off the home shopping channel. Hardest game I ever won.

  • @grahamchan4266
    @grahamchan4266 3 месяца назад +3

    I remember my dad buying this game from the shopping channel. It was awesome.
    My only real gripe was collecting olives.
    I used to hook up the "NES Advantage" controller put it on turbo, and then leave a weight on it, then go to sleep. In the morning I would have 99 olives!

      I got it from the shopping channel too. I was too young to figure this damn game out.

    This and Timelord were my favourite NES games growing up

      Time Lord was great! Except for the salty Mexican boss guy. That fight really sucked.

    @jevonknights3507 9 месяцев назад +3

    It's one of my favourites - love the graphics - but in true nes fashion so hard. Found the navigation confusing though, things like going through a tree taking you to another island. Never got far but my brother finished it way back then

    Thanks for going through this, I loved this game and am playing it now. I am just trying to figure out what I am missing to complete it.

  • @Dorian_Scott

    For '89, the graphics are very good. The sprites and locales have a great amount of detail. Lots of dithering to give the Illusion of more colors as well as some nice gradient effects.

    It's one of my first Nes games, I never managed to get far because I don't understand English. The password is huge and if you make a mistake even once you're a failure, tough!

    I used to love this game! Wow, never realized how close to Zelda 2 it is, like almost identical. Wish they would put it on the Switch arcade.

    The navigation in this game was very counterintuitive. It's like, if you're in Texas and want to go to Canada, you need to travel to a trailer in the desert, which brings you to Utah where you have to enter an old lady's garden shed, which leads to Idaho where you have to wander into a field to find an outhouse that finally brings you to Canada. Forget using roads, because them's for suckers
