It was nice to play. It's so fast and I like that so much. I played one game and arrived to the boss, and as I didnt recall what to do, by the time I figured, he one-shooted me and died. For sure I will have my revenge!
Nice remake!

hello, this is F.L , who make this clone
i have changed the controls : two players with keyboard is now possible. 
I worked for 5 months to recreate the code of 1987 Team . I had a lot of trouble to re-create the animations, I spent a full night to analyze screenshots and videos frame taken on emulators to understand how it worked. I programmed in BASIC because it is on my cpc when I was 12 that I learned the basic, thanks to the big book that came with the CPC I tried to reproduce the same and I thought to make a tribute to the team without changing a bit like a fraud that replicates the work of a great master ... CPC version for me will always be the best, even after 25 years.

for download the latest version : BARBARIAN 1987
unfortunately it remains some small differences especially in the AI opponent that I have not yet fully mastered do not hesitate to refer the differences and if you find bugs.
to see my work on youtube :
remake BARBARIAN version CPC et C64
in some time, I would remake the PC and AppleII versions .they used the same engine.
hoping that my work pleases you
cordially
F.L

edit: there was a little bug of scenary at the ending of the two c64 versions. if you've already downloaded, you must download it again,  sorry

Hi there and welcome to our forum!

I found 1 "bug" in the CPC version:
When the green gnome starts to walk, the music already starts in the original game.
In your remake the music starts, when the gnome picks up the death barbarian... ;)

(Nothing important but a little detail)


Oh... And the "shift" key maybe is not the best solution for Windows 7.
It always asks me if I want to enable the automatic key-toggle function :D


In rest nothing to say!
It's a cool remake!

Cheers!

it can be turned off and back on again by code.

yes, i know for the shift key....i must change the attack key for a next version update. but which ? control ?
for the music when the goblin comes, in my memories, it was like you say. but on my emulator and on my different *.dsk it's like that :

Barbarian sur Amstrad CPC
it's a mystery or our memories are wrong (1987 it's far !!)
thanks to interesting to my works
bye. F.L

Hello mate, welcome to our community and thanks for your remake!!!


I played with it last night for a while, I really liked it and it runs very nicely. I'm wondering about the difficulty curve though, I seemed to breeze through the first four levels or so, decapitating left and right, and then it suddenly got quite more difficult... or is it my idea?

Devilmarkus

Hummm indeed!
The music starts, when the gnome picks up the fool :D

I was very sure it was different :D

But ok, you are absolutely right!!! ;)

yes, it's true. to the 4th barbarian, it's easy to behead it. it's more difficult for the 5th  and it's impossible for the 6th. and for all them, if you do the same attacks three times, it will but more difficult to do it again (sometime impossible). my IA is not the same that the original, i don't become to remaster it. so i maked a new IA who likes the original.  ;)

i have uploade the files again : now the first player can play with keyboard or gamepad. it's more easy like this
you must download again the games, sorry

bye
F.L

Devilmarkus

You should add files containing the executable only...
So no need to download the DLL files and resources again ;)

But again: Great job!

bye
F.L

Gryzor

and i have ported my qb64 codes to the Sega megadrive
always in basic of course, with the help of the powerful BasiEgaZorz, who allows to make a rom

Barbarian CPC Megadrive - YouTube

the rom works on a real Megadrive/Genesis , and on emulators (Kega Fusion for better result)
here is the link to download :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kmxws288gvnfawp/barbarianCPCmegadrive.zip
