Conan the Barbarian
This game began life as "King Arthur's Adventure" before Astrovision secured the Conan the Barbarian license. The game was advertised during 1981-1982 but was never released at the time. It later changed name again, this time to Quest For The Orb. Neither Quest for the Orb would see a release as Astrovision/Astrocade hit financial troubles. Eventually a working prototype made its way to Dave Carson Software in 1985 and was released under the Conan the Barbarian name.

About This Game
Conan ventures through a labyrinthine world overrun with terrifying beasts, armed only with his legendary sword as he fights for survival against relentless hordes. The adventure scales in difficulty across multiple stages, welcoming both newcomers and seasoned warriors to test their combat prowess. Players must navigate treacherous passages while dispatching increasingly dangerous creatures, with progression measured by how many foes they can overcome before falling to the onslaught.
