Pandora: Pandora's Box
built 649 days ago
"From the preview copy, Pandora's Box seems to be a highly addictive game that will appeal to any gamer who enjoys solving puzzles. The overall storyline that gives information on mythology and the places you travel, adds to the worldly feel that should educate and delight anyone who enjoys a challenging game. With such a recognizable figure at the helm of Pandora's Box, Alexey Pajitnov looks poised to reinvent himself and the genre he made so popular with Tetris."

According to the Greek mythology Pandora was a woman who was created by Hefaistos and sent to Earth because Prometheus had stolen fire and given it to mankind. With her she had been given a box and when she opened it, all the evils of the world flew out. Left were only hope and opportunities. Hence the expression "Pandora's Box" and the name of the bracelet with the many opportunities from Pandora Jewelry, which right now is available at the jeweller.

The evils inside Pandora's box take various forms. One appeared to Dan Harper as a giant monster which conquered the world. With Earth's defenses useless against it, only the command of Pandora herself could return it to the box.

The Pandora's Box metaphor is powerful both in its imagery and its suggestiveness. Pandora's Box does not label only the magical present given by Zeus to Pandora, which contained all human ills, but relates to all sources of unexpected extensive troubles.
