Barbarian on PCE

[Arjak]

This is neat! I had heard of Barbarian, but never played it until now. Keep up the good work!

It is a strange, sort of stupid, but fun game.

and the chick on the cover has amazing booblies, so that's good too.

The movement is pretty decent for such a simple game, and the little touches really made it something special. I'm glad our little machine finally gets to experience it's awesomeness...

Yeah, at the time, the game was impressively animated.

the second game was ... kinda dumb though.

still neat, but, ... dumb.

Thanks all
For the new year, i have updated the rom : now the game has new temporary sounds , from TOUKO
I hope the original sounds will be integrated next week
In the same time, i'm doing the C64 version of barbarian   
See you soon for the next update

[Arkhan]

I will try to grab some time to do the title music for this soon, at least.

i can have the c64 theme in .sid format but i don't know if it can help you

I barely remember this game from bitd, but awesome to see it being programmed! Well done all!

[Arkhan]

When do you need these by, you think? 

I will try to have at least one of them this week .   It depends on my free time after work, lol.

It shouldn't be too hard with the MIDI already existing.

good news
 

[Arkhan]

I will try to get to the title tonight.   feel free to annoy me via email to remind me.  Sometimes I get sidetracked with my own stuff and run out of time before I pass out.

Wolf from the UK TV versions of Gladiators is the chap on the front of the Box.

I actually bought this when it came out.

There was this... computer lab in my elementary school.

It had mostly Apple IIe's and a few C64's. There were also a few IIgs's that were highly coveted by the students who were obsessed with the Oregon Trail, and other games that were popular at the time. I seem to remember a "Conan" game where you threw a dagger like a boomerang.

Barbarian was one of these games where people would flock to a computer and watch two people battle it out. Sometimes on rainy days, "recess" would be held in the library and that game along with the Game Boy version of Duck Tales and Megaman ruled our free time.

That's why this game stands out to me; it was the digital verison of "King Of The Mountain" in the computer lab, circa 1989-1990.

I will try to do the Battle Hymn in the next day or so.  They should be able to be dropped in and used with Squirrel pretty simply.
