There's also a Game Boy port of the same game that was developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Imagineer exclusively in Europe. == Summary == In many ways similar to the earlier ''Zelda II: The Adventure of Link'', ''The Battle of Olympus'' takes place in an ancient Greece which is being terrorized by Hades, the dark ruler of the underworld.〔(''The Battle of Olympus'' (Game Boy) ) game overview at MobyGames〕 Helene, the girlfriend of Orpheus, is kidnapped by Hades who is holding her captive.〔 A top-down map of Greece shows various dungeons and ancient Greek city-states for the player to visit on his journey.〔 Swords, shields, and crystals help to provide offensive power and defensive strength for the player.〔 Three fragments of love are there to remind Orpheus of his girlfriend Helene.〔 Hades rules his dominion in Tartarus, where his strongest minions live alongside him.〔 During his adventure, Orpheus needs to meet the Greek gods and gain their favor, starting with Zeus, the leader of the Olympian gods, who encourages the other gods to grant Orpheus powers. These powers are in the form of a weapon, a shield, and other special equipment, among them a harp, which summons Pegasus to carry Orpheus to far locations. As the game progresses, players are exposed to various forms of upgraded weaponry. The player starts off with a basic wooden club. The player later obtains items such as the Staff of Fennel (also known as a thyrsus, which is able to project a fireball), Nymph's Sword, and the Divine Sword (able to project a lightning bolt). The game features encounters with mythological creatures such as the Taurus, Lamia, Cyclops, Centaur, Talos, Minotaur, Medusa, Cerberus, Stymphalian Birds, Nemean Lion, and also a Siren. Players must fight their way deep into the underworld, fight and defeat Hades, and finally save Helene. Several items depicted in the Greek mythology are acquired, such as the Harp of Apollo, the Sword of Hephaestus, the Staff of Prometheus, and the Sandals of Hermes. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Battle of Olympus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
