I consider this to be one of few legitimate uses for save states.

>too much olive grinding and backtracking
Not to mention the password system. One misplaced character and say goodbye to hours of progress.

Great game. IMO two things really brought down the experience.
The first was the need to grind for cash or other supplies at several points, made worse by the fact you lost half your stock with every death (this made getting the sword from Hephaestus particularly annoying with all potential pit deaths). The other was password system, pic related. I have not-so-fond memories of losing progress once because I screwed up a letter or two on a password.

>At least the game's short and easy enough to beat it in one sitting
Unfortunately, pic related was neither short nor easy. I got triggered hard as a kid when I fucked at least one character in the password. Anyone who has ever played this knows what a goddamned chore grinding for cash was.
