The strongest man in the world couldn't lift this game up.

Here's something they didn't mention.

The final level is a *point-of-no-return.* Meaning that if you save there, you have *no way of getting back to the main world.*

I love how Hercules can smash rocks with his bare hands, yet he cant open a chest without a key. Lol

I forgot the part in the original mythology where Hercules tried to commit suicide by spinning around.

As a Hercules fan, that wasn't Dracula, it was a maynad, aka a follower of Dionysus, and in most tales, they eat human flesh and drink blood as part of a ritual that makes them out to pretty much be vampires.

Also circie turns people to pigs in the mythology aswell, not Heracles, but many people.

Ares: haha, you'll never defeat three of me, Hercules!

Herc: ROLLING AROUND AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

On the one hand, I can’t help but feel sorry for the devs who knew the game was crap but were forced to release it anyway.

On the other hand, it’s Titus.

A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR OUR DEARLY BELOVED FRIEND WHO WE DID NOT SAVE WHILE
..CYCLOPS!

This game went from hero to zero in no time flat.

In the TV series, there were a ton of press releases about Sam Jenkins playing the Serena, Golden Hind -- she'd met Kevin Sorbo in an earlier appearance and they got married, so they were making a big deal about his new real-life wife portraying the new love interest on the show, and heavily implying she'd be a series regular. She only had a handful of appearances before getting killed off, and fans got annoyed at the bait-and-switch.
I suspect they wanted to shoehorn her into the game to give her more airtime as a sort of apology.

All I want is a developer interview on the making of this game. It's simply incredible in how rushed and broken it is. You just know they had a more fleshed out game in mind.

[MrFoofles]

This really shows how important "Z-Targeting" really is to 3D action games. Something like that would make this so much better.

Between not owning a controller pak, the long tutorial in the beginning and the awful cyclops fight, I never did make it far in this game as a kid. Not sure why I owned it.

[ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

The fact that the game was developed by Titus is enough to keep players away. Far, far away.

[TheBigDynamo]

That dancing stealth movement has got to be the most amazing animation I've seen in any game in a while.

Just as laughable as the climbing animation in the Charlie's Angels game. Now there's a good candidate for Just Bad Games!

"I didn't wanna be immortal anyway, it's too much hard work. You gotta watch people come and go, no thanks, Samuel"

17:33 I love when developers do stuff like this. Sucks they had to go through the ordeal but at least they have an outlet for complaining.

[rixius]

12:01 Pretty sure this was mentioned elsewhere in the comments but that ridiculous spin might actually be an attack for when you're surrounded. Either that or Herc wants to live out his dream of saving the world through dance!

Another delightful trainwreck you guys found, awesome job!

So there was a Z-target mechanic, it just wasn't implementated in the rest of the game..?

I now understand the physical and mental struggles in making these videos and express sympathy for what you have to go through.
I also commend your efforts to push through for our entertainment.
Just try not to hurt yourselves in the process...

Literally just thinking to myself: "I hope Rerez releases a Just Bad Games video soon".
And YT actually shows me a video as soon as it was listed!
