"What have I done?" cried Hercules, unable to believe that he had knowingly killed his own family. Theseus, his friend, tried to reassure him, saying that his hands may have been guilty, but the evil goddess Hera controlled his soul.

"I must pay for my sins," replied Hercules. "Even if it means taking my own life."

"Be not hasty," advises Theseus. "Visit the orcale at Delphi - she will advise you."

And advise him - she does, with words of great wisdom. "You must purify yourself. Visit Eurystheus and submit yourself to whatever tasks he demands of you."

And so Hercules entered on an adventure with twelve tasks to solve in a land where graphics are not to be found, but instead the imagination paints vivid pictures. And he thought to himself: "This is a Quilled adventure." But that did not put him off, because he was enjoying the tasks at hand despite the rather limited vocabulary.

And he wandered the 150 or so locations which were bedevilled by ingenious and taxing hazards, such that even the best of adventurers might be troubled and he thought unto himself: "This aint bad for a couple of quid".

A good value adventure that will keep you occupied for a few hours.
