About Gift from the Gods
Originally released in 1985 for the ZX Spectrum, Gift from the Gods saw players take on the role of Orestes from Greek mythology, as he braves the trails of a labyrinth to avenge the murder of his father, Agamemnon, by his mother, Clytaemnestra. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.
As the mighty hero Orestes, search through the expansive and confusing catacombs for the mythical Euclidian Shapes, six of which are required to reveal the exist. Along the way you will be hindered by terrifying illusionary creatures created by the demi-gods, but there is hope: your sister Electra is also somewhere in the labyrinth, and she possesses the knowledge of which of the Shapes are the six needed. However, the treacherous Clytaemnestra has heard of your task, so also stalks the winding passages looking to kill Electra.
This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

Holy crap this is on Steam!?!?!?!?!6 found this helpful
It was winter..1985 ..I was skiving off from college playing a pirated version of this game. I had no instructions..so no clue what was going on... I still to this day have no clue what its about,have the original now (big box version), but its good to own it digitally. I`m actually suprised that the sound is so sparse..memory told me it was alot richer. Anyways great fun ..and how about re-releasing the great escape ..classic game from ocean?5 found this helpful
