H.E.R.O. Is Back - A homage to H.E.R.O with new levels for the C64

Sometime back we mentioned the classic game of H.E.R.O was being overhauled for the C64 as a vastly superior version of a classic game that was first released way back in the 1980's for the Atari 800/2600, 7800, ColecoVision, C64, C128, and ZX Spectrum. Sadly it looks as if that version of the game isn't going to see the light of day, but not to be too despondent, as we've just been informed via Saberman that LC-Games has released an update to his H.E.R.O homage called ' H.E.R.O is back '. A C64 game that now features 20 completely new levels for you to enjoy.

In this game which is a homage to an all time classic called H.E.R.O. You play as ' Roderrick Hero ', and must search the cave system for the miners of Mount Leone who have been trapped deep below after a recent volcanic situation that has occurred. The game features multiple levels, different themed underground areas, dangerous enemies such as spiders, and even dynamite to blow up walls to reach the miners trapped below.
