This is truly amazing. It's one thing that no-one knew about it, it's another that it was fully boxed and shrink wrapped. How many copies were made? Why did they not go into stores or at least, mail order companies? Palace Software sold the rights to sell Barbarian as Death Sword in the U.S., perhaps that meant they couldn't distribute a IIGS version of Barbarian. All very interesting.

Let's collectively cross our fingers and hope that Antoine can get the game playable!
