ULYSSES -HI-Res Adventure #4-

Released by Starcraft in December 1983, Ulysses is the fourth entry in the "High-Res Adventure" series, which brought Sierra On-Line's classic adventure titles to the PC-8801. Based on the ancient Greek epic The Odyssey, the game showcases a grand quest for the Golden Fleece, utilizing the PC-8801's impressive graphical capabilities of the time. Its high difficulty, which requires a working knowledge of Greek mythology, left a lasting impression on players of that era. As an early example of rapid software localization, it stands as a significant title in the history of Japanese adventure gaming.

This adventure game is inspired by Homer’s ancient Greek epic, The Odyssey. Players step into the shoes of the legendary hero Ulysses, setting sail for a mystical land at the edge of the world. The goal is to overcome countless trials and recover the Golden Fleece. The game faithfully reflects the atmosphere of Greek mythology, where deep knowledge of the legends is essential to progressing through the adventure.
