- Ulysses and the golden fleece -  
|
|
The golden fleece is a treasure
that was sought by Jason and his argonauts. They set out to find the fleece
overcoming many obstacles in their quest. Ulysses and the golden fleece
has much of the same story but instead of Jason you are Ulysses and your
king has tasked you with finding the fleece. Along the way you'll encounter
many hostiles and you will have to use your wits to overcome them. Some
of these are characters from Greek mythology like the sirens and the cyclops.
The game takes the form of a text adventure and you have to type in commands
on the bottom of the screen. Most of the screen is filled with a picture
that depicts your current whereabouts. The picture also shows items that
you can pick up so it's a good idea to look at the picture as well as read
the information about your surroundings. The commands you can give are pretty
standard fare such as picking up items and using them.
Ulysses is a very early adventure game from Sierra and altough the premise
of ancient mythology as a game is quite promising the actual game is a bit
of a letdown. The descriptions of the locations are a bit minimal and you
don't have the sense of involvement that you would on a quest of such a
magnitude. The later sierra adventures are much better and this is definately
not up to par with the adventures from infocom released at the time. Give
it a try if you'd like but there a much better text adventures around.
Overal rating: 6/10
