What's this? If you're going to re-release a former Sizzler at a knockdown budget price, the least you can do is reprint the plot on the inlay! The new, Kixx-produced packaging, tells you all you need to know about the controls and special weapons: it even includes a few tips on baddie bashing, but it gives *no idea* as to how you came to be doing it or why! Oh, well, back to the old review...

The evil god Dameron has taken over Earth, and is making mincemeat outta the good guys. While he spreads his malicious malpractice throughout time, you've been chosen to kick his butt.

Each level borrows from a different mythology, starting in Graeco-Roman hell (Hades to the classical scholars). If you survive, it's on to Nordic times to battle your way to Asgard (are you getting all this? It's a real education, you know!). The third level sees you walking like an Egyptian, braving the curse of the Pharaohs and cursing the tricks and traps liberally scattered throughout the tombs. As for the fourth level, well, I'm not telling, but watch out for Dameron!

Myth is a real cracker! The graphics and animation are spectacular, and give a real spooky atmosphere - the 'hell' level is so hot you'll be opening the windows! Gameplay is nothing new, but with presentation like this, who cares? You may have seen it all before, but there's always room for a game of this quality, especially at budget prices. Difficult at first, but keep persevering - with four spectacular levels, there's enough here to keep anyone happy.
