Oh, this was indeed a rocking game. I remember playing this all the time. The Castle level near the end was a huge HUGE pain for me. I think I'll try and play this game again. Great review RoG (as always)!

[Protoclown]

Oh FUCK YES! This game rocked the block, and for years I was trying to remember what game it was, because I had forgotten.

I don't want you to think that your review was what helped me out though, cuz I tracked it down on Wikipedia several months ago. Don't want it to go to your head or nothin

It's amazing how many things mooched off of Conan in those days: besides the getup, Fabio is holding Conan's sword.

"So, we can't get Schwarzenegger for the box art...but we got the next best thing, Fabio!"

[executioneer]

the boots of lava walk are my least favorite powerup, because when you get them you lose the best one: the boots of power that let you open any treasure chest you like just by hitting select DAMN YOU BOOTS OF LAVA WALK

[Nick]

Why would they spend that much money on Fabio?

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

It is part of the enigma that is...Fabio!

[BoMToons]

Very great and awesome game.

I was hoping you'd mention Fabio on the cover of the second one. I remember playing through the game once and loving it and then I rented it a second time and just got so frustrated with it that I couldn't stand playing it any further. I did, however, love the potion of levetation and how it gave you that extra half an inch that you needed to make some of the insane jumps in the game!

I won't touch this game with a ten foot pole.

You know...I love this one to a degree, but I loathe and despise IronSword. The controls are worse than in W&W, the enemies are just as frequent and hard to kill, and you die just as often. Knowing this, they took away the infinite continues. Bastards!

[argonath]

I loved the flailing sword animations in this game. It looks like he's trying to fling a booger off the end of it.

[Autobot Ironhide]

yea this game was awesome. but W&W 3 made me wanna kill myself. i remember when i could be Ironsword w/o GameGeine. i was so happy.

[incognit000]

Kuros knows:

Shirts are for pussies.

[saturnknight]

i remember this game, there were times it nearly drove me to throwing it out of a window....like that Zombie boss fight. and some stages were difficult because you couldn't see enemies that were somehow IN the walls.
good review RoG

How about a ten foot controller? wocka wocka

[Fat_Hippo]

Never heard of it, which is no surprise, but I'll check it out, since it sounds like a cool game.

P.S.: You listed "Potion of Levitation" twice under the available power-up items. Just saying.
