## Description
Ancient Greece is no longer a nice place to live with wild beasts roaming the
lands with supernatural powers and cities with Kings treating their subjects
harshly. The people feel the Gods are ignoring their pleas no matter how much
they prayer and offer sacrifices. Greece needs a hero and you take the role of
one such potential hero. Your name is Herakles and you live in a small
dwelling called Tiryns and you are descended from Perseus the Gorgon Slayer
and fathered by Zeus himself.
Many years ago you were driven mad by the Goddess Hera and you ended up
murdering you wife and children. You have finally accepted what has happened
and you are ready to atone for your sins and to place yourself alongside the
Gods and fulfill your destiny. The only way you can do this is to save the
people of Greece by completing ten tasks set to you by the King Eurystheus in
the city of Mycenae. You will face many creatures and evil as you attempt to
save Greece and atone for your sins.
_Herakles: The Early Trials_ is a text adventure with the occasional graphics
to show your surroundings. Text describes your surroundings and you type in
commands with the keyboard to interact with objects, people and creatures.
