/* Gameplay */ typos
When released on CPC (old) Barbarian 2 was considered a good game, despite a somewhat limited playability.
Graphics were pretty good yet the Adventure/exploration aspect perhaps disapointed disappointed the Sword-Fight-Only fans of the prequel.
Also the bigger sprites and various monsters opponents were quite fun.
The " beheading" feature was kept (still possible against some opponents) and the possibility to play with the princess added some kind of Fan-service.
Some cracked Disk version were notorious for displaying a naked princess instead of the golden bikini. O_o
But the GX4000/PLUS cartridge lacked the 4096 colours palette wich which would enable a better choice and greater atmosphere.
Also due to DATA storage limitation (128K Eprom only) the intro pages/menus were skipped, and no gameplay improuvements improvements were actually added (the use of the 2-button paddle ?)
A 3rd game of the franchise ([[Barbarian III]]) is announced at the end of the game yet it was never done...until someone do it at last ?
