From to Richard Cobbett opens in new tab wrote Crapshoot, a column about bringing random obscure games back into the light. This week, it's ancient history in syndication. The pouting. The fashion. The lesbian subtext. Her cleavage will change the world Saw a few episodes. Even—or perhaps especially—as a big mythology buff they just didn't click. The same goes for all the similar shows from the same period, like Sinbad, Robin Hood, Jack of All Trades, and god help us all, Cleopatra Not heard of that one?
It's the one where a stripper gets cryogenically frozen after a botched boob-job and wakes up in a future full of killer robots. Xena was by far the most popular of these shows though, especially when it came to spin-offs, and the inevitable games. You'd expect lots of simple hack and slash cash-grabs. You'd be right. Well, I say 'adventure'. Except not. What happened is that back in the 90s, a company called Brilliant Digital Animation got hold of the Xena license to produce animated online games, which it called Multipath Movies.
The action was played out in real-time 3D, with occasional decisions to make, like whether the characters should go into the spooky mansion, or call the authorities. The game we're looking at today is based on an actual Xena episode rather than being its own story. Let's recap: that's an episode of a TV show, converted into real-time 3D graphics, then burned onto a DVD to be watched, like a movie.
His Greek name was Dionysus. Already my head hurts. Dionysus was the result of one of Zeus' many conquests, specifically with a girl called Semele, the daughter of the king of Thebes. Hera, bitchiest of all the goddesses, found out about this and promptly tracked Semele down, persuading her that if Zeus really loved her, he'd show her his godlike form. She promptly demanded this, Zeus was far too used to being hen-pecked to turn down an excuse from someone he wanted to slip the little lightning bolt to, and he accidentally flash-fried her.
Attempting to fix this, he took the baby Dionysus from her dead body and Somehow, I suspect that owning a copy of Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable is not advised for playing through a Xena game. And in fairness, while I've never seen the episode this game is based on, a quick scan of Wikipedia suggests that most of the inanity comes from the original story.
On that note, Zeus declares it time to begin. Orchestral music rising, he blasts two of the wimpiest looking lightning bolts ever down at an unsuspecting world, summoning the epic presence of the standard Xena logo from the depths of legend itself, and presenting the game's title card Zeus sets the action going by presenting a map of the world—a village, some woods, and not a lot else. Onto this, he places two simple little dolls of Xena and her assistant Gabrielle, and it says something about the level of graphics that they're not that much simpler than the actual character models.
The game never figures out a way to make this flow very well, so most scenes ultimately end with one character laying the choices out like that, and Xena standing around fidgeting for a bit until the timer runs out. Selecting the Woods, because why the hell not, the duo show up for real, walking like two puppets whose strings have been cut. The animation quality varies dramatically throughout the game, with characters randomly not moving their lips when they talk, 3D models that vary from 'not awful, considering' to 'ye gods man, your arms!
This version of Xena and Gabrielle can't even walk straight, never mind anything else. Their first meeting is with an old woman emerging from the woods. They've kidnapped the girls from my village, and others too! Say you'll help us! Somehow I don't think this is going to be one of those manhunts that requires the Ancient Greek equivalent of a helicopter.
But wait! Who are these mysterious Bacchae of which she speaks? That a single bite from a Bacchae can turn you into one of them! That once they drink of Bacchus' poison blood-". At this point, Joxer—the show's comic relief—randomly shows up, being chased by a trio of slavering hell-beasts who look like they've come straight out of a box of Lego.
Decision time! Whip or sword? Indecision time? Don't worry, it doesn't matter a damn. Either way, Xena quickly ends up trying to chop them, only to find that their flesh immediately repairs itself. Being functionally immortal doesn't make them any braver though, and they quickly run howling at the sound of Xena screaming at them.
Joxer climbs down from the high-ground—the nearest tree—to explain his presence, by pulling a severed talking head out of his pack. There's a quick comedy moment where Xena can boot it into the air on the grounds that it's a creepy talking head, but again, it doesn't actually matter. That's Bacchus? No, don't be silly. My eyes must have been playing tricks. That couldn't possibly have been that stupid. There must be some mistake. Let's look at that again. I'll forgive the horns.
I'll forgive the red skin. I'll forgive the goat-feet. I can even forgive the silly shorts. But the giant gold 'B' hanging from his neck? Bacchus does not have bling! I demand a new villain!
Right now, or I'm turning this Crapshoot around and going home! While we wait for that demand to be accommodated, you might be wondering what happens if you go to the village instead of the woods. Shockingly, it makes precisely zero difference whatsoever. The only change is that Xena and Gabrielle meet the old woman there instead, before immediately being redirected back onto the 'correct' path, where everything plays out precisely the same.
Has the new villain shown up yet? Okay, fine. But consider yourself warned , game. Orpheus explains that he was using his lyre to calm Bacchus and his vampire hussies, but got overpowered and decapitated. The question of how a severed head managed to make a daring escape remains unanswered. He explains that he needs Xena's help to find a new lyre that can subdue the Bacchae, and his friend in the village, Melodius, can help.
Gabrielle can't help but pick-up on the unspoken and largely unacted angst between Orpheus and Xena, which turns out to be a result of a clash back from before she became good and took the spikes off her breastplate or something. Pausing only to help a mysterious old man, the three head back to the village. Meanwhile though, drawn to Bacchus' abode, sought there to conspire, the three wolves turn out to be cough beautiful Bacchae. In fact, they're the only Bacchae.
Either Bacchus is one picky god, or the nearby villages aren't living up to this show's Beautiful Maiden Quota. Or it could be that the original 3D engine used for this story could only handle about twelve polygons at once.
It's anyone's guess, really. Bacchus turns out to be one of those 'dick' gods, responding to his minion's explanations that Xena curb-stomped them with a quick rant about "Women nowadays! Dress them in leather and give them a whip and they prance around like a less hairy Hercules. Next time, it'll be bronze bras all round! Apparently struck by this idea, he bursts into poorly animated laughter. Then listen carefully Unfortunately, his explanation of why he plans to send her into battle alone after three of them just chickened out of a fight with Xena is unceremoniously cut off by our heroes arriving in the village.
Here, things are much as you'd expect. Beautiful maidens being kidnapped? A dark god holding the land under his thrall? Must be party time! Orpheus is attached to Joxer in traditional Zaphod Beeblebrox style, while Xena and Gabrielle demonstrate their fashion sense by showing up at a crazy shin-dig in their regular clothes and nobody so much as batting an eye. Spoiler warning: It doesn't work. At all. Approaching Melodious' house, the team spots a cloaked figure leaving with a lyre under one arm.
Xena easily traps her by a cart, whipping off her hood to reveal the Bacchae underneath. As is traditional for vampires, said Bacchae promptly stands around hissing for roughly nine hours, before morphing back into a wolf and escaping.
