A strange little side quest
One reason role-playing games keeps producing good game ideas around Heroes of Myths: Warriors of Gods is that its history is full of strange turns. By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form. The same trail leads to another fact: Modern chess traces back to the Indian game chaturanga, recorded around the sixth century and built around pieces representing parts of an army. So a round of Heroes of Myths: Warriors of Gods is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer role-playing games timeline.
