Play Hercules : The Legendary Journeys Online

I picked up Hercules: The Legendary Journeys for the Game Boy Color back in 2001, a time when licensed games were everywhere. Titus Interactive put this one out, and it fits right in with other action platformers of that era. It's not groundbreaking, but it has a certain charm if you're into the show or just enjoy straightforward adventures.

You control Hercules, moving through side scrolling levels filled with monsters and environmental hazards. Your main goal is to rescue your friends from Hera's clutches, which means fighting through waves of enemies and navigating tricky platform sections. You use a sword for close combat and a bow for ranged attacks, switching between them as needed. The game is screen by screen, so you clear one area before moving to the next, and there's a fair amount of backtracking if you miss a key. It can be a bit repetitive, and the difficulty spikes in later levels keep you on your toes. Playing it feels like a solid, if unspectacular, way to pass the time.
