Background
John Brandon:
- Game my brother made for a class project on Ulysses, shamelessly copied tons of graphics from Cireneg's Rings. I believe it is extremely short (could be completed in under a minute) and showcases a part of Ulysses quest where he is attacked by a lot of guys at once and has to retreat back to his ship.
