I have very vague memories of a game where you played... I think it was a barbarian? I remember the weapon could be upgraded but I don't remember how! The graphics looked basic even for the time.
Any ideas?
- mrighele 7y agoA long shot, but if I think about an arcade game with a barbarian I cannot think about anything but Rastan (although the graphics was not necessarily basic for the time): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFBs3X2LVAc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFBs3X2LVAc
- JimiofEden 7y agoI mean, you've described just about everything from Castle of the Winds to Skyrim (well, maybe not if the graphics were basic.) If you think of any more of the description, there's a subreddit that's specifically about helping people find obscure games they kinda remember: https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/ https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmyjoystick/

- S-E-P 7y agoworst case this is just a good recommendation
- MagnumPIG 7y agoYeeeesss thank you! I remember dying a lot, wonder if the game is actually hard now... I'll check it out :)
- Herodotus38 7y agoNo problem! For some reason it was the first thing I thought of. I have good memories watching my dad play it and trying to as well.
- hibikir 7y agoIt’s not necessarily known mainly as a PC game, but the most common 80s game where you play a barbarian with upgradable weapons in Rastan, originally for arcades in the late 80s.

- Double_a_92 7y agoI loved this game on the SNES. And it was just some random game that was in the discount box in the shop.
