Heros is an EGA platformer with FM sound and a comic book theme. You can play as seven different heroes, including a flying squirrel who can glide short distances, a woman with a rocket pack, and a wad of bubble gum who can climb walls. The heroes must stop the reign of terror of an evil rabbit named Wild Hare. Comic book stereotype phrases like "Bam" and "Oof" appear when heroes or villains are hit. Originally published as full version software by Jeffrey Fullerton, Safari Software (then a division of Epic MegaGames) later published a shareware version (with correct spelling of the word "heroes") called "Heroes: The Tantalizing Trio" because only three of the heroes are playable. There are 50 levels in this game, with only the first 11 different playable in the shareware version.
