During the time of the ancient Greeks, the gods ruled the earth, bidding against each other for power and using humans as pawns in their wars against one another.
You were once a proud and mighty soldier, who fell at the hands of the enemy in of these wars. You thought that you might finally rest in the after-life....you were wrong.

Neff, one of the minor demons of Hades watched the actions of the gods with great interest. He had great ambitions to become the ruler of Mt. Olympus. Biding his time, he waited until Zeus, the almighty king of the gods, was distracted with yet another war against his enemies. When the time was right, Neff unleashed his army of underworld creatures to kidnap Athena, one of Zeus' daughters, and held her hostage. Neff hoped that by using Athena, he could force Zeus to relinquish his hold on Mt. Olympus to himself.

Zeus was completely helpless against this threat. All of his finest warriors, mortal and immortal, were all engaged in bloody combat elsewhere, and he was unable to spare a single soul.

Having no other choice, Zeus used his power to raise you, one of his finest warriors, from your grave. You are promised immortality and Athena's hand in marriage. All you have to do to claim them both is battle your way through Neff's demon hoard and rescue Athena from Neff's clutches.

Knowing that no mere mortal, regardless of his skill, is capable of defeating a threat like this with bare hands, Zeus endowed you with the ability to transform into four mighty beasts with the powers of the gods.

Athena's fate, and the rest of the world's, is now in your hands.....


This game is famous for it's opening line, which used a voice sample to say "Wise from your Gwave". Why was Elmer Fudd cast in the roll of Zeus? I don't know. This game is pretty hard and controls are a little loose, fun with friends in two player though.
