| S.T.A.G.E. said: Atlantis was supposedly a volcanic Island, so I think we would get two for the price of one. Theres no reason in choosing in between the two. Bar none that would be the most epic game though. I wonder how it would work in modern times though, being that atlantis went under water and hasn't been found. |
The reason you can make a game about Atlantis is because no one knows where it was located. Its been rumored to have been located where modern day Crete is, North of Crete on and around the modern day island of Santorini (otherwise known as Thera), west of the Azores, off of the coast of Japan, as part of the Continental shelf east of Bermuda and even in Central America itself. But all of these are theories built off of two dialogues writen by Homer who himself said he wrote them based off of an Egyptian oral tradition that was '10,000 years old'.
If someone wants to make a game about Atlantis, and bear in mind many people have including the famous Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis game, they can practically make up anything they want after choosing one of a dozen popular sites. Its kind of like saying 'I want to look for the city of El Dorado'. Well...its in the Jungle of South America. After you pick a starting location in South America, you basically do whatever you want.
Also, Atlantis wasn't necessary a volcanic island. All that was really described by Homer was it was an advanced civilization that was an island divided into 3 circular subsections. And it ended in a 'cataclysm'. Not specifically volcanic.
