As mentioned in the update from September the art direction for Jason the Greek went from a more modern cartoonish look to full-on pixelated retro feel without so much of a word.

About a half hour or so after loading the demo up I caught the “Game Over” screen telling me to wait for the final game.īefore I go any further in my look at the short release I should probably get the biggest source of contention out of the way first. Get some sort of boat and paddle and row your way to freedom. As far as opening puzzles go this one is pretty straightforward. It’s up to our intrepid hero to find a way off and reunite with his crew.

Just like the original demo for Jason the Greek, this one is a very short affair that has you stranded on a small island somewhere in Grecian waters after getting washed ashore by a massive tidal wave. That said, after about four months the promised two-room demo has finally hit the shores and is ready to set sail again. Which is why I wasn’t too angry about the news regarding the change of direction for Jason the Greek. After all, my fondest memories are playing the Sierra and LucasArts classics back in the day. From the earliest text adventures to today’s blockbuster hits as long as it has a gripping storyline and well-written puzzles I generally look the other way when it comes to things like graphics. It’s no secret that I love adventure games.
