Well, I have Barbarian II in a small quasi-5.25" box (slightly larger).
It has the famous cover pic in front, a brief background story on the
back (in I believe English, German and French), the contents include a
poster of the cover (MAria Whittaker... aaaaahhhhh), the game on 5.25"
and a small manual. It's for the PC (got it to run once on an old 286,
but even there timing seemed to be off.
I'd like t know which versions were released here in the states,
wouldn't mind hunting that one down.
Also, I remember Vixen, was the same, or very similar game engine to
Thundercats. Hottie on the cover.... they just don't put hot chicks on
enough covers anymore. Does anyone else remember games like Turbo Girl,
Game Over, Phantis and Megacorp? Now THAT was cover art..... either
that or being a young teenager at the time really engrained those in my
head.
