The Return of Heracles is a role-playing video game for the Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64 and Apple II. It was written by Stuart Smith and published by Quality Software in 1983.[1] Following Smith's adventure role playing games Fracas[2] and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and built on an engine that was a precursor to Adventure Construction Set, The Return of Heracles is set in the age of Greek myth and allows the player to assume the role of one or more heroes and attempt various quests.
It was later bundled with Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves in a compilation called Age of Adventure, published by Electronic Arts.
