[Action/Adventure] God of Thunder

God of Thunder is an old DOS game, made by Ron Davis (Software Creations) and released in USA in 1993. It's an action-adventure game with top-down view, similar in ways to The Legend of Zelda. It was originally a shareware game in three episodes, the first being available for free, but now it's entirely freeware, and you can get it at the Adept Software website.

You're Thor, the namesake of the game, and you're commanded by your father Odin to complete several missions. The game has you explore fields infested with enemies, some of which recognisable as part of the Norse mythology; you'll have to find your way through plains, towns, caves, and puzzles of all sorts.

The game isn't too hard, since you restart at the entrance of an area if you die (and you will die, a lot), but there are many instant-death traps (some of which reminiscent of Lolo, for those who know). However, certain block-pushing puzzles can leave you stumped, in which case I'd suggest you take a look at GameFAQs.

looks like a great game.

*downloading*

oh my god, I got the first shareware episode of that on the first computer game compilation cd I ever owned.
crazy.

I think I downloaded this a while back, if I remember right when I got to a certain point, the game looped. 

^ I haven't finished the game yet, so I can't guarantee it'll work alright, sorry.

This game is great. The puzzles, in particular, are really good.

Yeah this was ace, I remember it well.

Oh wow, yeah, I played this a few years back. Adept Software are also the makers of Jetpack, a fun puzzle platformer which I also really like. And it has a level editor!

First game I EVER played.

looks like it's cool. *downloads with the speed of sound*

^ Try running it in DOSBox, it works for me.

Hey cool! This came with the 'Doom and more' CD which contained a bunch of other sharewares, which means I only have the shareware right now... Its pretty fun to play.
