The game

It is a violent game which started a polemic in its time due to violence and sex.

Boobs from a certain Maria Whittaker were not stranger to this.

Of course it was a complete success and the game is remembered as one of the best of its genre and era.

Largely inspired from Conan the Babarian

Sequels

Barbarian 2 ( Cartridge ) : also known as Barbarian : Dungeon of Drax.

Barbarian III actually went Vaporware.

Cracks

Karatian and other mods were produced featuring Barbarian's gameplay or graphics, with mostly extra backgrounds.
