God of Thunder

God of Thunder (Commonly shortened to GoT)is a 2D platform/Top-down puzzle game created by Ron Davis and published by Software Creations in 1993. The game, which chronicles the quest of Thor, son of Odin and god of thunder, as he tries to reclaim Midgard for his father. Midgard, the beloved land of Odin's, was stolen from the god during his "Odinsleep" by Loki (The god of mischief) with the help of Jormangund (The Midgard Serpant) and Nognir (Prince of the Underworld). To help in his quest, Thor was given the mythical hammer Mjolnir by Odin. This hammer will return to the hand of whoever throws it.

As Thor progresses, he must solve puzzles set before him by Jormangund, Nognir, and then Loki. He also has to fight his way through the countryside, past city guards, and into the lairs of the gods. Along with puzzles and action, role-playing elements are included. Thor slowly gains more powers as he progresses, and his hammer and armor can become stronger over time. Through the entire game, Odin watches over him, and Thor will find himself being yelled at by the king of the gods if Mjolnir fells an innocent person.

The game features tongue-in-cheek humor. A bridge repairman parodies Star Trek when he responds to a request for a dental bridge with "Dammit, Thor! I'm bridge repairman, not a dentist!" Other examples of humor include countless references to sliding and non-stick surfaces in the second chapter, No Stick Nognir. The joke comes from Nognir's use of all of the male citizens in his area as slaves to mine Teflor (A take on Teflon). Stores also feature catchy slogans, such as "Andy's Armor Repair. You scuff 'em, We buff 'em."
