BARBARIAN: The Ultimate Warrior - ZX Spectrum Game Review

[joeinferno23]

if u turned over the cassette u would have 2 new levels if I rememeber correctly, but u were unable to finish the game.

[interghost]

@joeinferno23 really... I never knew that.. nice!

[EpiquestGame]

Wow the total lack of color reminds me of the old Tiger handheld games.

[interghost]

@EpiquestGame Yeah tiger games were cool too ;o)

[KaitainCPS]

Love the rubbish old Speccy sound.

[interghost]

@KaitainCPS Yeah rubbish but also cool ha ha ;o)

[nephildevil]

that barbarian woman was sooo hot :D :p

loved this game with the chopping off of heads

[interghost]

@nephildevil yeah you can see why young boys brought this game back in the day cant you? ;o)

[nephildevil]

@interghost hahah :p

[robrax]

Haha like the little gem about wolf and whittaker. Apparently she was 16 when she first modelled for the Sun. Illegal in the US!

[interghost]

ha ha... yeah but not illegal here in good old England ;o)

[hamster700]

ST version was way cooler

[interghost]

You might just be right there mate ;o)

[MastroMissas]

Excellent review!Well done and Greetinx from Greece!

[interghost]

Thank you very much... and welcome from UK ;o)

[darkmarkrammstein]

you have just taken me on a time machine mate. thanx so much

[interghost]

No problems mate, really happy to let you relive your old days! The Speccy is a clasic with many great games from my youth too. More to come soon cheers for the comments ;o)

[TheKINGFEDOR]

subbed

[interghost]

thank you VERY much mate... glad you liked it! ;o)

[greenelf12]

I used to play this game but my memory of it is a bit funny. I remeber playing in the forest which seems to go on forever, then one day I just continued to load the tape which got me on to the dungon then on to drax.

[Hal566]

good review, i could done without the Britney Spears music though really!

[interghost]

Thanks mate. Ive stopped with putting music to my reviews now any way due to copywright rules! ;o)

[Hal566]

i dont mind music just not my style of music lolz. :D Hey wasnt this game on amstrad and c64 as well as the Speccy?

[interghost]

Yeah it was on the following platforms: Acorn Electron, Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Atari ST, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, DOS, ZX Spectrum

[Hal566]

Do you have it for any of the other systems? Would love to see a comparison. :)

[interghost]

I dont have it on any other system mate. However, they are easy to get on emulation. Might have to do that one of these days ;o)

[FloorOfTheForest]

Getting your head chopped-off in this game was always the ultimate insult.

[interghost]

Yeah right mate. I used to love chopping off their heads! What a thrill ha ha ;o)

Thanks for watching! ;o)

[mrbassman25]

p.s... its so mindblowing to look back and think how addictive these games n computers were.... just with technology advancement i think.. i have emulators on my laptop and the games get boring now after 5 minutes :( sniff

[interghost]

I know what you mean mate. They do seem to get boring a little quick now adays... but its only because we are no longer able to use our imagination and fill in the gaps where the graphics are not that good. We have it all handed to us on a plate now a days! ;o)

[mrbassman25]

Dizzy is probably my all time favorite classic computer game :)

just thought id share that with you ;)

[interghost]

Cheers mate, yeah its a cool little game and one I used to spend hours on as a kid too.

Ive review a couple of Dizzy games too if you wanna take a look? Cheers for watching ;o)

[NIKODEMUXX]

What's the title of the song at the very end?

[interghost]

i think its just called YOU SPIN ME ROUND by culture club??

[ZilogZX]

You spin me round by Dead or Alive

[interghost]

Thats the one.. cheers matey! ;o)

[alfamatic]

Thank you very much, boys...

[F0gstridEr]

WOW! i remeber this game..

i hade the box "we are the champions"

Thumbs Upp! :)

[interghost]

I know its a blast from the past isnt it. I used to love playing this one with mates..

Thanks mate, hope you subbed? ;o)

[sackface100]

One of the greatest beat em ups ever...

[bastardtubeuser]

children now adays dont know what they are missing.

[interghost]

Yeah there was a poster. I show it in the video.

Very nice!! Ha ha..

Thanks for watching ;o)

[platformjprmts]

[interghost]

[wearerevolting]

fun cool death sword uk

[interghost]

What a good name for a web site ha ha!

[wearerevolting]

ha ha ha ha loved the clip at the end...

arnold is numero uno

[interghost]

He'll be back! ;o)

[wearerevolting]

this reminded me on the knightmare game we had, review that so i can see past the 1st screen, also you could work in some great clips from the show... or how about a games workshop spectrum game special, i was watching the crystal maze to day and apparent GM devised some of the game son that... was there a crystal maze spectrum game?

ps check out the creeping with armstrong video guys

pps why Brittany?

[interghost]

Yeah that knightmare game was a bitch wasnt it! I might have to take a look!

I dont think GW made many games for the speccy, only Chaos off the top of my head and Ive done that one?

I will check out Crystal Maze too. But I think that came after the Speccy went dead!

PS - Yes please do check out the CWA vids they are good.. well edited!

PPS - What not? Just a conection between the man saving the woman?? I dont know! I just like her new song I guess!?

[RedHowlin]

I don't remember the speccy being that advanced! Impressive graphics for its capabilities. I did have the same game on my Atari ST though. I love how the little goblin collects the decapitated head when you perform that move! Good work, interghost!

[interghost]

Yeah its amazing what the Speccy can do! People are still making games on it now adays! And they are really pushing the limits of its power.. the things they do are very impressive!! Thanks for watching! ;o)

[RedHowlin]

I never actually owned a ZX - but it was the first home computer my uncle ever had, and to my shame I left it behind when the more powerful consoles entered the market... It's heartening to see people still doing things with them now, though!

No problem - thanks for using your spare time to bring all these nostalgic memories back for us. Keep it up!! :-)

[denitson777]

great video as always,thnaks bro

[interghost]

Thank you for watching. Please subscribe as lots more to come throughout the year! Cheers ;o)

[DoubleLwithWARZONE]

Great review, the game looks fun and a great old school fighting game, but the box art is soft core porn

[interghost]

I know what you mean ha ha. Funny isnt it!

I wonder if this was done as a marketing ploy? What will make young boys buy this game. Sexy lady on the cover and a free large Poster to put up on the wall... nice! ;o)

[mitzibishi]

oops you already covered the cover stars. good knowledge there

[mitzibishi]

wasnt the Barbarian on the cover Wolf offav Gladiators? and i forgot who the woman was. classic covers though

[mathowlett]

The woman was Maria Whittaker. She was hot !!

[yugi1983]

I like the review. keep up the good work.

[braineaterknux]

Love that cover for the game ho ho.

Nice review, I liked the Speccy loading screen-esque intro.

BTW, at 3:34 you can sort of see the gal's nipple, your video may get taken down for that.

[interghost]

I hope not.. haha Thanks for watching mate ;o)

[braineaterknux]

No prob. This video probably has the closest thing to porn on YouTube right now XD

[braineaterknux]

Oh I meant 3:43, sorry.

[rob1969in]

I meant I loved your new intro by the way.

[rob1969in]

Nice one I was shite at this game but loved it all the same. I think I only bought it because of the ad with the large chested lady with the lovely legs in the Speccy mags!

Loved the intro,

[interghost]

Yeah I think most young boys did buy this just because of the cover. Nice bit of marketing I think! Cheers ;o)
