Complete guess here, is that a Conan the Barbarian game?

We are just old, and were frustrated with awful games.

Cognoscento seemed to have been skipped there.

But I think his was Robot Battle, maybe.

I think it was released under two different names.  Either "Power Bots" or "Mega Bots." That game frustrated the hell out of me!

Power Bots for the Apple II


Sordid, is that game called "Barbarian"?  I think I remember having that for my Amiga.

Daaamn, and here I thought I'd win again with this one. I guess not. Well done remembering that.

Also, sorry about the skip. Didn't notice it.

How about this little shareware gem from the early 90s

I loved that game, turned me on to roguelikes.
