Athena – NES Game

Athena is a side-scrolling action platformer for the Nintendo Entertainment System. You play as Athena, a princess who leaves her palace and passes through a door into a series of hostile worlds, moving through forest, cave, sea and sky settings on her way to confront the enemies waiting there. She begins with no equipment and attacks by striking blocks and scenery, which yield weapons, armour, shields and shoes; each pickup changes her sprite and her reach or power, and taking damage can cost you the gear you have gathered. Levels are timed and scroll horizontally, with vertical routes to climb or descend and bosses guarding the exits. The mix of fragile equipment and strict timers makes it a demanding platformer that rewards learning where items are hidden.
