To my dearest, and to the brave…
Hercules no Eikou II: Taitan no Metsubou was released by Data East in 1989 for an 8-bit home console.
This is a RPG game where you play as a hero traveling a vast world to defeat monsters who plot to dominate it.
Join forces with companions you meet along the way and restore peace and tranquility to the world.
(This title was originally released exclusively in Japan. While the user interface and manual are available in English, the game content is available in Japanese only.)
The Console Archives series is designed to bring classic games originally released on home consoles to modern gaming platforms.
In Console Archives series, features such as customizable button layouts, rapid-fire settings, multiple save points, and for some titles, a rewind function have been added, to support players in completing these classics.
Additional options include screen layout adjustments and filters that recreate the the nostalgic atmosphere of CRT TVs back in the day, allowing players to customize the visual experience to their preference.
Whether it’s a title you played long ago or one you’re experiencing for the first time, we hope you’ll find a favorite and enjoy the game your way.
