My version of the game (MS-DOS) wouldn't allow you to go all the way back to the beginning once you got the orb. You had to win by jumping off the cliff and killing yourself. (It would go to the win screen with 100%)
One of my first st games, laggy as hell but mystic atmosphere still. How i was dispointed, when i discovered that the screenshot on the packaging were not in-game (missing savage world), there was a nice poster with the game. I remember having found out a bug to get invincible while just standing in front of any enemy, after pressing the 'G' key (get) they will simply miss you and walk their way...
Just I don't believe it. I've spent hours and hours on this game..and actually, the game lasts 15 minutes? Ahhh the old gameplay I miss you a lot :D Today games are so easy
I loved the dragon pic that the game put up while it was loading. I remember the game game with a small poster of it. I always died trying to escape because I would forget certain traps. Neat to finally see the ending nearly 30 years later...lol
I saved my pocket money for this (£24:95 I think) and was pretty impressed initially. Soon got bored though, but don't regret buying it - one of the first games that showed what Amiags could do.
hey the controls wernt that bad u just had to get used to them. i used the clumsey controls precisely and i was only 9 - 13 years when i played this game
Man, that's some old memories right there. I remember being able to beat it pretty regularly despite the terrible controls. The worst part of all was the swinging hammer at 15:35 - with the super low framerate it was kind of all a matter of luck almost. I forget what my trick was, but it was like "go up the ladder, take exactly 3 steps and hit run and he'll make it under" or something.
My dad got me a second-hand ST when I was a kid in the very early 90s. Barbarian was one of hundreds of original boxed games that came with it. The controls were fiddly and very unresponsive. I remember the original price sticker on the box too - £39.99! Never seen the ending until now.
I too played this game a fair amount as a kid, but never got far. I thought the game controls sucked then also, and it was very frustrating. Also, thought there were some REALLY lame cheap-shot traps. And then the point of the game wasn't explained very well.......man, a lot of games sucked back then. It was like the neanderthal age of games....
oh wau..it's almost like playing a super laggy rpg on the net.
Had the misfortune of picking this one up at the game store back in the day.goes without saying that i wasn't too happy with my choosing.game was a bit too challenging for lil' kids.not to mention it sucked balls!
hehe man what a miracle youtube is. I can't even get my thoughts around the idea other people played this game as well. It's just crazy. When I was quite young I kept playing this game, it's a wonderful example of how, as a child, these games take on a whole life of their own. I remember being scared as hell everytime I came one screen further than the previous time. And what was up with the controls? Madness
I actually beat this game on my A1000 (one of the few). I can remember beating the wizard, then realizing I had to now get back to the start position. Eeek.
Oh man... The method of beating that wizard has eluded me for over 20 years now also. I remember this as the first game I got with my Amiga 500. Til this day, I had considered the 50% completion mark of the game a glitch in he software. I had given up hope of ever learning the truth but as you said, THANKS to the Uploader. May be a little sad that a 30+ old is writing this, but hey, I'm glad that there are others out there that share similar memories.. F-me! it was a deflection of the fireball!

I was just playing Skrull The Barbarian thinking it was the worst game I'd ever played. I checked out a few reviews of it and they seemed to say that it was an improvement over this game. :o
Me too. I shelled out £25 on this game when I was at college and couldn't get passed about 5th screen - bad mouse control system, it should have allowed joysticks. I bought Terrorpods too and that was crap.
I remember this one! Man, have times changed! Okay, now lets see you play TerrorPods or Menace or Blood Money! BM kicked ass when it came to pure shoot-'em-up type games!
I played it on XT CGA monitor sucks more than this Amiga version, but I almost reached last scene then died. One day I ran the game on AT 80-386, and the game was too fast to be played, once you start, you die in seconds.
This game was not one to play and enjoy, but one to show off in front of the neighbours' kids:) It's a clumsy, difficult and almost unplayable piece of crap.
well done! I had this, the button lag was really bad, and hitting the button faster(hurry up!) just made you die, since you would do like, 2-3 times instead of once. Did they find this game too easy with a joystick, and changed the interface? I wonder... Too bad the sound is messed up here...the original non-cracked disk had music playing at the title screen.

It was the very first video game I played on Atari, some 20 years ago. It was given to me by the shop where I bought the Atari ST.
The mouse control was difficult and the game quite buggy, but graphics were amazing (and still are) and the mood is great too.
What memories!
