Barbarian
fantasy fighter game for Commodore 64, 1987
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The evil sorcerer Drax desires Princess Mariana and has sworn to wreak
an unspeakable doom on the people of the Jewelled City unless she is
delivered to him.
However, he has agreed that if a champion can be found who is able to
defeat his demonic guardians, the princess will be allowed to go free.
All seems lost as champion after champion is defeated.
Then, from the forgotten wastelands of the North, comes an unknown
barbarian, a mighty warrior, wielding his broadsword with deadly
skill.
Can he vanquish the forces of Darkness and free the Princess... ONLY
YOU CAN SAY...
