Anyone that has been reading Retro Gaming Magazine for any length of time knows, fan translations rule the roost around here. Discovering newly translated games and being able to bring news about them to our readers is nothing but fun times. This post is about another fan translation, Glory of Heracles 3 (Heracles no Eikou III: Kamigami no Chinmoku) seeing an unofficial English release.

Par for the course with role playing games from this time, the main character is an amnesiac who has no clue as to who he was. The twist here is that the main character (you get to name him) enters dream states that may offer clues as to his identity. Eventually, these dream states start mixing with reality as people that are encountered in his slumber begin to populate his life.

For those that don’t realize it, or didn’t know, Glory of Heracles 3 is a Greek mythology style RPG (Battle of Olympus anyone?) for the Super Nintendo. Most fan translations are for the Nintendo Entertainment System so this is a special treat for gamers.

Glory of Heracles 3 is not freeware so we can only link to the ROM patch on ROMHacking.net
