HI

[@BookofAeons]

"In Argolis our goal is" I see what you did there

[@geoffreybrockmeier3765]

FINALLY Battle of Olympus at a GDQ!! With all the love of classic game music I'm surprised this game with its wonderful soundtrack is almost totally ignored. Such an underrated gem!!

[@bbarrett726]

Holy crap, I can't believe I missed this live! This game does not get enough love. One of my favorite NES games

[@Shangori]

I dont get it, really. As a kid, I found it impossible to complete because I didnt get the hints or the way to get to the next areas, I absolutely hate the music loop and the use of a password system frustrated me to no end But I still like it.

[@Chadius]

One of the best Zelda II clones out there. I still love the music.

[@daka6887]

My friend changed when she became a vegetarian, it's like I've never seen herbivore.

[@voteZDLR]

LOL that's good I kinda saw it because of the setup but it's still somehow great

[@depressedtv]

Karma had really good, detailed commentary.

[@pagb666]

Remember getting this back in the day, as is was pointed out as a hidden gem which didn't get enough love in a Q&A section from a magazine. Loved it, and sat for a whole weekend until a beat it.

[@Zorafin]

He's way beefier in the credits than in the game

[@blujay1608]

The game is what made him beefy LOL

[@timfleijsman]

love the dude at the start being totally hyped by the music

[@jamiemc2313]

Probably my fav NES soundtrack. This game captured my imagination as a child and filled me with awe for ancient greece.

[@p0rn57ar]

he was like that for a few days

[@Thiinka]

Twitch chat dubbed him Dance Dad, kept us all cheered up in between runs!

[@reboot3332]

This game was so hard as a kid, it was the only time I took a picture of the ending after I beat it, and sent it into Nintendo Power to get my name in it. Being a fifth grader who had his name in Nintendo Power was like being a god at that time. Speaking of which, what a great game this was...

[@blujay1608]

I sure miss Nintendo Power. I used to love looking at the artwork that fans sent in.

[@OneTrueBelmont]

I remember trying to take a picture of the end of Startropics and sending it in to Nintendo Power to see if I made it in. Sadly, I did not.

[@Bobdd0]

Fantastic work karma! You and your couch made this a fun and accessible run!

[@TheBigL1]

I guess you could say that early screen where you can grind olive drops is a godsend.

[@OutOfTheGameLetsPlay]

I loved and dreaded this game as a kid! Great run! I can still remember that There was a very misleading commercial for this game that likened it to Zelda 1 and 2.

[@RPGBros]

Fantastic run, olive the clutch.

[@skipatrolslayer]

I remember having this game back when it was new and I also remember that I was never able to beat it. This run gives some closure to my childhood lol.

[@saigefan01]

facts

[@MissAshley42]

Hermes. Messenger of the gods. Lover of ceilings.

[@jesseg8150]

Ah yeah, best NES game. Also, that soundtrack is the stuff of legends.

[@blujay1608]

Literally

[@ImperiousViking]

That clutch moment at the Minotaur tho!

[@TaneKoden]

Man this was THE game of my childhood! I never beat it as a kid, but I remember seeing the final boss fight and the ending when my dad beat it. Actually, I was just looking up the boxart of the game (cause its actually pretty badass boxart) and google's auto complete came up with Battle of Olympus Remake... Someone is remaking this game!

[@uhuhuhuh20]

We have all of our olives, olive our all of's: all of them.

[@LilacDownDeep]

Wait, Brøderbund published this??? I had NO idea they delved into NES titles!

[@Petfal]

A friend of mine had this game when we were kids. I loved it, even though I never got to play it properly. I was used to games you just picked up and played, not games you had to sit down and take the time to actually get anything out of, but I loved the greek mythomology, and the adventure and explomoration. Hard AF! I remember chatting in the chat while watching this live, and a guy said something about there probably not being monkeys on Crete at the time in history this game is supposed to be. I answered "Haven't you heard of Greece monkeys?". I just think I deserve some credit for that pun O:)

[@SaxcatGamingCorner]

Go Dance dad go!

[@gpweaver]

I played the hell out of this as a kid, 100%-d it multiple times. ...and I never knew you could play the harp to summon Pegasus in front of the sun statues. DAMNIT!

[@AbeKenney]

I’m gonna record the song from the song of someone’s nightmare!

[@AProbablyPostman]

This game looks sick it's like a Metroidvania.

[@angrysumoxxx]

Olive, the other reindeer, never made an appearance. ;(

[@Lord_Verminaard]

Olive farming simulator with snobby Gods. Pog

[@chicken045]

Great run! BTW, her name is pronounced "yoor-rid-a-see".

[@Waldimart]

Best music is Phthia music!

[@ivangood7121]

The main character is Jotaro. That's not the best one but Johny would be a bad name for a greek guy.
