Hmm when I was younger I used to play a game called "Hercules".
But looking here none of the games with this name was the game I was looking for.
I think it had very simple graphics and also a river as well as green grass (maybe some kind in the style of river raid 64) but horizontally as far as i remember.
Then you had opponents like some kind of snakes etc., looking very simple. I think you had to throw arrows at them and Hercules maybe looked more like the black guy from Bruce Lee.
This is all I can remember, maybe some one knows that game or if there was any other game released with a wront title called something like Herkules.

The description you've provided doesn't really narrow things down too much - was there anything greek mythology-based in the game?
You may want to look at Gods and Heroes (GB ID 3196) - still a platformer from the same author as Hercules, but might match closer the description 'some kind of snakes' and the main character sprite.. Not sure how Bruce Lee factors in?

Ok I have drawn an image of the picture I still have in my head. I hope it's not too far away from how the game really was.
I guess it was similar to this style (not the same sprites of course). You played the guy and there were some animals as opponents, also there was a river altough I'm not sure if you could swim inside. I think you also could move on to different screens (varying the river and rocks maybe).
Well this is the picture I have in my brain now 20 years later but it is very different from all the hercules versions I found.

I also asked the friend now who used to play that game often with me. He said that the picture I did comes close to what is in his mind also.
Also he said that you started at the bottom and had to leave the screen on the top defeating some crocodiles that were in the water.
Any ideas now? :wink:
