Barbarian was first released in 1989 for the C64 and later ported to other systems including the Acorn, Amiga, Amstrad, Atari, Apple II, BBC Micro, MS-DOS and ZX Spectrum. It was a fine game indeed that featured a one to two player mode as each Barbarian faced each other off in deadly combat, that usually ended up with a head being chopped off and kicked to one side. Such an incredible game indeed, and it is no wonder a fan by the name of barbarian.1987 has made available each version such as today's CPC release, playable on many other platforms including the PC Engine.
