Barbarian Game

Step into the brutal, sword-swinging world of Barbarian, a classic MS-DOS gem that’s as unforgiving as it is addictive. This 1987 hack-and-slash fighter throws you into gladiatorial combat where reflexes and timing mean the difference between victory and a grisly demise. With its pixelated gore and over-the-top violence (for its time), Barbarian was the game your parents probably didn’t want you playing—which, of course, made it even cooler.

What set Barbarian apart was its raw, no-frills approach. No fancy combos, just savage swordplay where one well-timed decapitation could end the fight in seconds. The game even featured a two-player mode, turning sibling rivalries into bloody duels. If you’ve ever wondered where games like Mortal Kombat got their inspiration, look no further—this is old-school combat at its most merciless. Ready to prove you’ve got the guts to survive?
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
