A downloadable game

for Commodore 16/Plus4

"Infuriatingly addictive game based on the twelve deathly labours of a modern day Hercules."

Can you help Hercules (or Yolanda) complete the twelve labours before entering Hades for the final challenge? Platforms appear or turn to fire before your eyes - dare you make that leap of faith into the unknown?

With each of the first 11 levels appearing in random order, you'll never know quite where you are or what your next move is.

Original game conversion by Wayne Alan Maw (Power House)
