Barbarian (AMSTRAD 1987)
There are several games you can play on your AMSTRAD CPC (emulator) that have the title "Barbarian." But only one of these games is the brilliant game to end all games, the correct and wonderful " **BARBARIAN** " from my childhood. The "correct" version looks like this: The "c…
Bring me a rock
