First of all, don't use that kind of language.
Also, there was also another guy who reviewed it, punch666
There was also a problem when Seb uploaded Barbarian 2 he put that review for Mastertronic's Barbarian (by punch666)
The main reason for NOT uploading this game is because it really sucks, mostly because of controls. Abandonia was supposed to be site for only good ones, not archive for old games like HOTU.
Now this game is added, there really should be a general discussion about what Abandonia really is. It seems that Kosta is not very active lately.
Kosta wanted Abandonia to be site for good games, where people can drop by and download any game and to be sure that there is something about it. Later on, he didn't want CGA games, just like graphics is the most important part, but that also changed since there are good CGA oldies. But still games like this one was not to be present at Abandonia.
Seb even suggested that, for the games like this one or Commando for exapmle, there could be a new category "Fiasco", like games that were put much into them but turned out to be very very bad. Suggestion was rejected as those games shouldn't be on Abandonia at all.
Now i really think that this needs a debate led by Kosta (after all, this is his site). Some general rules and, i dare to say, Abandonia's style is not really respected, with no offence to those who did this. There are no bad intensions, nobody's fault since Kosta never actually put anywhere public the saying "Only good DOS games" under Abandonia's name, it was just said on forum few times.
I really don't know what to think.
By the way, this game is SURELY not a prequel to Barbarian, as the first Barbarian is much older and it was created by different company.
