"God of Thunder" is a strange top-down adventure game in the vein of the original NES "Legend of Zelda", developed by Adept Software in 1993 and published by Software Creations. Ron Davis led the programming team and Jason Blochowiak of Commander Keen and Wolfenstein fame helped as well. It was not commercially successful, but enjoys cult classic status. In the game, you play as the "Young Asgardian Man" aka "Son of Odin" aka "God of Thunder", Thor, who does various good deeds as you play through different levels and scenarios.

Whether you're solving various puzzles or thwarting the diabolical "God of Mischief", Loki, and his allies "Jormangund the Midgard Serpent" and "Nognir the Underworld Prince", you'll be able to defeat enemies who use different tactics, find jewels that can be used as currency, and chat with various NPCs of Midgard (some with a surprising degree of wit) while using your mighty Mjolnir Hammer to strike enemies and objects from a distance. Thor can also gain access to various magic abilities that you can use such as healing magic, lightning that destroys nearby enemies, etc. Not bad... not bad at all.

The game has rather crude visuals even for its time and the music isn't particularly amazing, but it is sort of charming in its own right (like dealing with drunken NPCs or being warned not to shoot and kill innocent people despite how fun it is due to a score reduction) and is fairly entertaining. My main concern is that using Thor's hammer for puzzles is fine, but fighting some enemies with it can be pretty annoying as it has to hit something before it returns to you and if you miss, it can take a while before you get another chance to throw it. This is a video of it in action. Enjoy.
