Sorry, the prequel line was an assumption on my part. I simply saw Barbarian 2 and figured that "Gee, Barbarian must have come before it." I never played 2 so I didn't know. I should learn by now as I keep getting bit on the "history" junk that I think is just off-the-cuff remoark to fill in a paragraph. I get run out of town on a rail for those remarks! :w00t:

No update in the review yet?

[guesst]

I make it a rule only to make minor changes to someone else's post. And since I'm not sure GameBringer can edit his own, it'll probably just stay the way it is for now.

I think he is referring to the actual game review, which I told Kosta I am fine with replacing. I just wanted to contribute and I can take honest critisim. If the group feels the review was not a fair representation, and they want to replace it with a better one, I think it will siimply make the site better.

(I'll give myself a "B" for effort, if nothing else! )

:wallbash: Oops, I was thinking I was in the FRUA topic. I don't know what I am - or he is - talking about. Don't mind me.... I'm senille... Huh? What was I saying... Hey look... It's Elvis!

Oh, this was one annoying game because of the crappy controls.
Never got much further than 60%, died time after time a few screens after the dragon, somewhere among the cave people.
This game must have been one of the worst attempts ever to include mouse controls...

Hello to all....

I downloaded this game mostly because I remember playing in my Spectrum, many years ago...at that time, I thought the game was good, but hard.... However, it seems that there are differences regarding the Spectrum version....at least I don't remember that version having a dragon...

Can anyone tell me how I can pass/beat the dragon, please?

When you enter the screen with the dragon shoot immediately then turn around and head back. Repeat this once more and the dragon is out.

Can anyone tell me how I can pass/beat the caveman guarding the ladder exit later? I think there was something with coming up from different directions, or should I jump there?

I don't remember having any problems killing that caveman other than timing. It was just a bit more difficult. For those who ask about how to finish the game, I only managed to acquire a 100% after killing the las wizard deflecting his fireball with the shield, then picking up some short of thing he left in the ground, automatically dropping it by the edge of the cliff and (this is the funniest part) comminting suicide by dropping myself down the same cliff. Quite stupid.

I have to agree that the controls were horrible. But, hey, it was my first PC game.

Fortunately, now with DOSBOX emulator, you can remap the keys.

I remapped it to use Left/Right/Up/Down, and use SPACEBAR
for attack, and TAB for switching the 2 menus.

The game suddenly becomes much more playable. :)
