Been awhile since I looked into Homer, but I am struggling to remember anything like the weirdly random horse-massacre of Hades and any mention of Circe trying to squash Odysseus with a downpour of bricks ... The C64 version of Dante's Inferno is positively slavish to the source material in comparison to this, but always nice to see a programmer choose such an uncommercial inspiration.
@CommanderKrail Yeah, it's a bit of a joke, really, and the soldiers all look like they suffer from jaundice! Not quite like the film adaptation I saw with Armand Assante. Never read the original text. Dante's Inferno I have in book form. Strong atmosphere. I like the Dore depictions of it, too. Wow. The C64 game of it is really very good for an early one, too.
