When released on CPC (old) Barbarian 2 was considered a good game, despite a somewhat limited playability.
Graphics were pretty good yet the Adventure /exploration aspect perhaps disapointed the Sword-Fight-Only fans of the prequel.
Also the bigger sprites and various monsters opponents were quite fun.
Also due to DATA storage limitation (128K Eprom only) the intro pages/menus were skipped, and no gameplay improuvements were actually added (the use of the 2-button paddle ?)
A 3rd game of the franchise is announced at the end of the game yet it was never done...until someone do it.
