Hey, I played this game on my old ZX Spectrum+. There were infinite lives in my version so it was easy to complete it. I agree it's really difficult game (I died at least five times in every room where enemies were) but it's not THAT bad. You just need to know what to do.

Hi!,I also played Barbarian on Spectrum(those were great days!) .I finished it without infinite lives but it was really haaard.Despite the gameplay I must say that even liked this game because it had a nice graphic(for my 8 bit machine)...

best game ever. i used to play it just to walk into the wall. also to hear the startup BAR-BARIAN!

After killing the wizard and droping the orb into the pit, i never jumped into the pit.. to finish the game you must go aaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way back to the beginning to the first screen.. then you finish the game.

...

EDIT: I just finished the game and i jumped to the pit.. that's the unofficial way to finish the game.. as you completed 100% of the game... but the real ending is when you go back to the first screen =P take it as alternative endings:

Good Ending: You killed the mad wizard and saved your tribe.

Bad Ending: After you killed the wizard you became possesed by an evil force wich makes you jump down to the bottomless pit.

I remember playing the C64 version back in the day. It was a bad game even then. The amiga version was a huge hit because of its sampled voice at the beginning of the game (!) I remembered how i went all the way back just to see a well done text (as far as i remember). After some time i bought an amiga and tried the game on the amiga for a few minutes. I turned it off and played north and south instead. Not psygnosis' best game ever.

No! I mean not game, but character/
Example: if i press right, he move right, but not stop until he will be killed by frog or stone/
