It took only over 30 years until my silent wish was granted.
Thanks

What a amazing work!
It's funny when that little animal drags the loser off the track. Great! Balanced gameplay. I'm hoping for a release as a cartridge.

Played the game several times now and it realy brings back the old memories. And I could not remember the game being this challenging Again, great work guys. What is next, maybe a port of amiga's savage, turrican or panza kickboxing?

Cool! Palace Software's Barbarian is a classic and I love seeing it cloned for the MSX2. This game is very fast-paced compared to the original, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I did find rolling to be a bit too fast and unnatural looking. All in all, great job!

If you want the slow paced original speed (easy skill mode), you may boot the game pressing F1 (please take a look at the game manual).
