God of Thunder

God of Thunder is a video game in the action genre developed by Adept Software and published by Software Creations originally released in 1993. It is currently playable on DOS.

God of Thunder is a gorgeous Zelda-style puzzle game from Adept Software, a little-known development group.

Ron Davis led the programming team, and Jason Blochowiak (of Commander Keen and Wolfenstein 3D) helped with programming. As the story goes, your father, Odin, is the ruler of all the earth. But, every several thousand years, he must enter Odinsleep to regain and recharge his powers. While in Odin's sleep, your evil twin brother, Loki, takes over the earth. With Odin able to communicate with you, but still without the power of Odinsleep, you, Thor, are summoned to destroy Loki and his evil cronies and reclaim the earth in Odin's name using this magical hammer that magically returns to you each time you throw it.

The graphics are primitive for the time, especially when games that are 5 years older than this one sweep it (Monkey Island comes to mind), but the frantic puzzles and gameplay are enough to keep even the most experienced puzzlers stumped. Another slight problem is that the AI could have been a little better (for example, if you get ahead of a guard, he'll shoot arrows at you, but he keeps shifting his patrol to find you), but other than that, it's a fantastic game that console fans will find quite familiar.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
