Ulysses and the Golden Fleece is a graphic adventure game released in 1981 for the Apple II. It was created by Bob Davis and Ken Williams as part of the Hi-Res Adventure series. With a graphic at the top of the game screen, the player navigates the game via a two-word command parser.[1] The game was ported to the Atari 8-bit family, Commodore 64, and IBM PC.

Reception

PC Magazine rated Ulysses 14.0 out of a total of 18 points. It called the graphics "gorgeous", but noted the limited text parser compared to Infocom's Infidel.[2]
