About this game

Hellfire is an arcade adventure released in 1985 by Melbourne House. Re-enact the trials of Ulysses in this fast-moving arcade game with a difference. Climb the slopes of Olympus, avoiding the falling boulders and the destructive stars of the Gorgon, and outwit the Minotaurs in the Temple of Knosses, only to be trapped in the maze, where lives the reptilian assassin and the fireball thrower. Can you avoid all these perils and join your peers in the Elysium fields?

You are legendary hero Ulysses and are set with three repeating tasks which get more difficult each time you are tried. The tasks lead you to the slopes of Mount Olympus, to the Temple of Knossos where the ghastly Minotaur hides and finally to an unknown labyrinth in which monsters await you.
