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.

Availability

Prior to this archive's online presence, this game is not known to be publicly available.

Archive history

On January 21st 2010, Rob Brandon pseudonymously responded to a Reddit thread with a passing comment about Game-Maker. When pressed about his history with the software, he replied that all of his games were stored on a couple of defunct computers, either inaccessible or destroyed.

Over 31 months later on August 23th 2012, John Brandon commented on a YouTube clip that he had found an archive of his and his brother's old games. The next day he composed a long e-mail describing the contents of a jumbled collection of gameware files, adding up to an ostensible sixteen games. All of the games were in pieces, many of them incomplete.

Over the next five months, through regular consultation, the games were all reassembled as well as the materials would permit. The games were reconstructed or otherwise recovered on the following dates:
