Perseus & Andromeda
_Perseus & Andromeda_ is Number 9 in the Mysterious Adventures series. As the
title implies, this one involves Greek mythology involving the characters
Perseus and Andromeda. Hero Perseus must slay Medusa and rescue Princess
Andromeda who will then become his bride. To accomplish this, he must arm
himself with a sword, shield and sandals.
This game follows the Perseus mythology story closely (as seen in the movie
“Clash of the Titans” for example). Many puzzles involve giving an object to
someone, who then gives Perseus another object. Entering temples and praying
can produce plot-advancing events.
Around this time, the game engine was redone to allow complete sentences
instead of the more primitive 2-word Scott Adams parser that had been used
previously, although early versions of the game may have still used the cruder
parser.
