Nice to see an arcade conversion come straight out on budget - what the reasoning behind this is I don't know but it's the fans of Gurianos who will certainly benefit. Read Review

If you really need a barg hack-'n-slash, go for Barbarian. It's more gruesome and certainly a lot better than this hollow offering. Read Review

- Sword fighting adventures against an amazing scrolling background
- Follow the adventures of Gurianos, embarking on his most dangerous quest yet
The Game
You are Great Gurianos, who is embarking on his most dangerous quest yet. The journey will be dangerous, as he has to battle against the most feared and deadly warriors. Armed with a razor-sharp sword, a titanium suit of armour and a carbon-chrome shield, only your guts and reactions will give him any chance of staying alive and completing his quest.
Playing Instructions
By pressing the sword up, middle and down keys together, you can obtain a 'protector shield' which will give you complete protection from flying objects. These only last for a short period of time, and you only get one per life. In each section of the game, there are flying swords. Hit four of these and your sword will turn red. This is the super sword which, if you press sword up, middle and down keys whilst fighting a warrior, will give total invincibility. One of the flying objects is a ball. Hit this with your sword and it will replenish your armour. Another of the flying objects is a shield. Hit this with your sword and it will strengthen your shield.
