Play Nectar of the Gods Online

Nectar of the Gods was released as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games collection, though details about its original developer or publisher are sparse. It fits right into that era of experimental, often humorous titles that didn't take themselves too seriously, built for systems where imagination filled in a lot of the graphical gaps.

You control a fledgling deity on Mount Olympus, tasked with managing the prayers of mortals on the world map below. Your main objective is to build a following by answering these prayers correctly, which earns you ambrosia, or you can choose to cause chaos by granting twisted, ironic versions of their requests. The game plays out screen by screen; you click on temples to see a prayer, then drag divine powers from your inventory to either fulfill or sabotage it. The pacing is deliberate, almost puzzle-like, as you weigh short term laughs against long term devotion. It feels like being handed the keys to a very silly, very petty universe.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
