Athena
Athena is a platform arcade game, produced and published in 1986 by SNK. It was later ported to the NES by Micronics, a company known for producing low quality NES ports of video games. Other conversions were done for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC in 1987 by Ocean Software under their Imagine label.
The game's title character, Athena, would later go on to appear in the game Psycho Soldier as Athena Asamiya. She, along with Kensou from Psycho Soldier, would appear as a team in The King of Fighters series, and has appeared in every game in the series so far. She also appeared in Capcom vs. SNK 2 and SVC Chaos: SNK vs. Capcom. (Wikipedia)
