The Battle of Olympus
8-bit retro update
8-bit retro update
This is a series I did in commemoration of an NES title 'The Battle of Olympus' by Broderbund Software. The idea was simply to create some concept art and a logo for a mythical reboot of the title which was originally based on Greek mythology. The game drew heavily from modern convention established with films such as Clash of the Titans and Hercules.

Orpheus, Protagonist searching to free Helene from the grasp of Hades.
Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
Pegusus, Orpheus' flying steed.
Cyclops, One-eyed mythical beast.
Lernaean Hydra, underwater guardian to the underworld.

One major mechanic of the original game was the ability to use Herme's sandals to transfer from floor to ceiling and back again, I tried to play this up for the 'boss fight' image seen here.
