Retro365 | Odyssey: The Compleat Apventure - Synergistic Software, 1980 - Apple II (4K) @Retro365 | Uploaded February 2023 | Updated October 2024, 20 hours ago.
A short play of Robert Clardy's Odyssey: The Compleat Apventure, released in 1980 by his Synergistic Software.
Odyssey was Clardy's first multi-part game and the first to be released on floppy only, due to its sheer size. Combining elements from his two earlier titles with a large game world made it one of the most impressive games of its time.
Start out on a small island, fighting monsters and villains, expand your army and strength. Explore lost ruins and temples and find enough money to be able to buy a ship and set sail on the mystical Saragalo Sea looking to recover the High One's orb and return it to his fortress now seized by the evil wizard, The Caliph of Lapour.
