Been trying to relive the glory days of my Amiga 500 with Barbarian but I'm stuck on the level with the skeleton king. Pretty sure there's like, a secret weapon or way to beat it. The manual doesn't tell squat. Any1 got tips or walkthroughs?

Professional gamer here.
The skeleton king fight is all about predefined patterns. The AI will only react once you've moved to a certain distance or initiated an attack. So, it's all about exploiting those patterns.
Here's a basic rundown:
Approach: Approach to about 2 or 3 character widths from the Skeleton king.
Bait and Block: Now, you need to bait his attack. Move slightly closer and he will trigger his attack. Immediately block his attack. (Low block is more effective)
Counter: As soon as you block the attack, counter with a low slash of your own. This should hit him each time properly done.
Ultimately, patience and practice is what will get you through. Happy gaming!

Oh, absolutely. The sacred weapon to defeat the almighty skele king is love. Just give him a hug. He's been so lonely. Just kidding obviously. Hit him low with your sword when he opens up. If you gotta ask such things, maybe Barbarian ain't your game, bud?

Ah, the good old skeleton king in Barbarian! A classic challenge from the golden era of the Amiga. From what I remember, beating him is more about mastering the combat system than finding a secret weapon. Your best bet is using the sword and attacking low when he opens up before an attack.
One tip I can give is to observe his attack pattern - he telegraphs his moves with specific animations. Figure out what those animations mean and you've got him beat. It's all about timing your block and then counter-attacking. Cheers to nostalgic gaming, man!
