Virgin Interactive and Titus are preparing to bring a remake of an old 8-bit computer game to the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Game Boy Advance. Barbarian is described as follows:
"Inspired by the original chop-'em-up 8-Bit classic from the days of yore, Barbarian is frenetic melee of medieval proportions. Take control of one of eight warriors and wreak havoc in ten fantasy arenas, each of which look as if they could have been lifted directly from J.R.R.Tolkien's imagination.
Each sprawling location provides players with an extra challenge of exploring a level while they belt opponents. They can throw enemies against temporary walls and boarded up doorways or drop down into new places to uncover new areas, each with their own unique hazards."
