Mine's from Age of Barbarian. I'm in no place to judge. Age Of Barbarian actually looks like it leans heavily on the classic 1980's computer games that went by the cunning title 'Barbarian' and 'Barbarian 2: The Dungeons Of Drax' from the now long-defunct Palace Software.  The game's were basic hack and slash flip-screen games, notable for having some damn decent quality photo shopped artwork on the cover featuring a combination of modelwork and costumed actors... |

And Age of Barbarians 2 is in the works as we speak. Add that to Savage: the Shard of Gosen and my side scrolling sword & sorcery game appetite is getting satisfied sooner rather than later. |

If you want some kick-arse sidescrolling mayhem from yesteryear i suggest getting hold of a decent ZX Spectrum emulator and playing the Probe Software game 'Savage'. It comes in 3 parts, the first a side scrolling axe-wielding slice of utter mayhem, the second a first-person scrolling shooter, the third you play as Savage's pet bird, flying through a castle to free his one true love. Great stuff. |

I wasn't going to quote the Amiga version of Savage, as getting hold of an Amiga emulator and the required Rom of the game would be so diffilct it would be pointless. Kick arse game, though, and absolutely mayhem incorporated and then some! |
