The grand videogame thread

Hercules the 2D platform game? I used to play it often as a kid but I never went further than the underworld gauntlet level.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "gauntlet" level. Does that refer to those levels that have you running straight ahead? Anyway, the underworld is the next-to-last level, ffollowed by a rather wimpy boss battle against Hades.

It struck me how few of the levels are actually traditional 2D platforming action: level 1 (training), level 3 (the forest) and level 4 (Thebes). Other levels have running through a kinda sorta 3D environment or put you in a cylindrical arena (Hydra, Medusa).
