There are time when you've got to unleash your inner Conan the barbarian, and this game fits the bill perfectly. I have this game on the SNES and it sure is addicting, from the ability to choose your starting point from the beginning, anywhere in between, to perhaps close to the end; and one of the real draws: the partners your character can get (by freeing them from their prison). Every ally is unique in his/her own way with varying attacks to a few special abilities. My personal favorites are the Amazon, The Lizardman, and the Ninja, though I do have a small soft spot for the Thief as well. Of course, the barbarian hero you control is cool too with his great muscular physique to the hot swords he wields as well which produce magical effects. I've beaten it once before, but there is always an urge to play some more with varying difficulty levels and some secrets as well. Overall one of my favorite games.
