The Battle of Olympus

The Battle of Olympus is an action-adventure platformer for the NES where the player controls the Greek hero Orpheus on a quest to rescue his love, Helene, from Hades, the god of the underworld. Players explore Ancient Greece, battle mythological creatures, and interact with gods like Zeus and Athena, who require payment in "olives" (the in-game currency) for crucial items and assistance, such as shields or sandals that allow you to walk on ceilings. The game features a unique, colorful graphical style for the time and a music score that has been noted as pleasant.
