Chimera (mythology) (that does not occur with depictions of male lions). Sighting the Chimera was an omen of storms, shipwrecks, and natural disasters (particularly volcanoes). While there are different genealogies, in one version the Chimera mated with her brother Orthrus and was the mother of the Sphinx and the Nemean lion (others have Orthrus and their mother, Echidna, mating; most attribute all to Typhon and Echidna). The Chimera finally was defeated by Bellerophon with the help of Pegasus, at the command of King Iobates of Lycia, after terrorizing Lycia and nearby lands. Since Pegasus could fly, Bellerophon shot the Chimera from the
Chimera (video game) to a bonus game in which the player has to shoot at a row of items (similar to Space Invaders). It has been said that the bonus game on the Atari 800 crashed due to a programming error. However, the game's author claimed that the Atari 800 bonus game, "A Different Kettle of Fish", was working when the software was shipped to the publisher, Firebird Software. "Chimera is definitely graphically and sonically superior [...] but the gameplay is unfortunately [...] weak."<br> Gary Penn in Zzap! issue jan. 1986 Twenty-five years after the release of "Chimera", original game designer Shahid Ahmad
