Personal review

The brave warrior and Mariana the rescued princess follow evil Drax into his dungeons to finally end his existence. On their way, they meet his deadly creatures, but they are armed and find magical items to protect themselves. Good successor to the infamous Barbarian (chop!). I really dig the disk change screen and some of the creatures' sounds make you go berserk!

Barbarian II

At the finale of BARBARIAN — THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, the Barbarian defeated the warriors of Drax and thus freed Princess Mariana from his evil spell. Drax fled to the dungeons beneath his black castle, vowing to wreak disaster on the jewelled Kingdom.

There is only one way to stop Drax. The Barbarian and Mariana — are the only two warriors skilled enough to survive the perilous journey, to Drax's lair. Can you stop him? You must stop him!
