Other than... Kid Icarus I can't really think of anything.

Maybe there are some old PC games, but I'm thinking more console wise I guess.

Age of Empires have a Greece Campaign (with probably the most difficult first level ever). there's also Age of Mythology which has the Greek faction as the Main characters and an "Atlantian" faction

I think Empire Earth had one too

Yeah, but Locomalito's stuff might as well be retro.

He's probably just trolling, the stories about Minos are only known through Greek sources.

I can't even think of a single piece of mass media, game or otherwise, that actually borrows from what we know of archaeological Minoan culture (bull leaping, snake goddesses, open breasted dresses) rather than Greek myth.
>>
>>3773826
Exactly, it's part of Ancient Greek history as a whole, even if it precedes it, it's in the same general area.
>>
>>3769391
That one game was very close to ZXS limitation even eventually got a port to it, but I don't think we are seeing Curse of Issoys on the NES anytime soon.

Empire Earth 1 has a campaign about the rise of Ancient Greece.
Same for Age of Mythology.
But they are 2001 and 2002 respectively, so not stricitly retro, and they are RTS games.

Dionysus is just the icing on the kek.

if you take away fantasy stuff the list drops to zero. we're talking about childish retro games here after all. they're all going to be 2d action platformers for kids. they aren't going to have serious settings.

I mention Hercules, Slayer of the Damned just for the melody that is spot on (and how you expect him to look like), but gameplay is stiff like in a lot of 8-bit computer games.
