This program does not live up to other offerings from this company, either in concept or implementation

The game and instructions are separated. The instructions are clear and, like the game, loaded reliably. But the game itself is rather wooden, and lacks real flair.

You must reclaim a chalice entrusted to you for safe keeping and stolen and protected by the dual evils Gorgon and Grang, (sounds like a music hall duo!).

The first part of the task requires you to avoid the Gorgon's direct state by looking at her in your shield and deflecting her glance so that she herself becomes the victim. Your shield may be angled in different directions. You have three lives.

Well, that's loosely connected with ancient legend - except I always thought of a Gorgon as a she, and here it is a he.

The Gorgon dodges around a rather crude temple 'set' and is not difficult to defeat. If you do not achieve your task, you may die, or your village may be flooded by the angry gods.

Defeat of the guardian Gorgon allows you entrance to the cave of Grang the evil swordsman.
