- Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax is a video game first published in 1988 for various home computers. It was also released as Axe of Rage in North America. The game is the sequel to Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior (Death Sword in North America), which was published in 1987. In Barbarian II, the player controls a princess or barbarian character, exploring the game world to locate and defeat an evil wizard. The game's plot is an extension of its predecessor, although the gameplay is different. While the first game offers two players the opportunity for virtual head-to-head combat, the second is solely a single-player adventure with fewer fighting moves. Palace Software, the developer of the two Barbarian games, marketed the sequel with the same strategy they used for the first game. They hired Maria Whittaker, a model known for her topless work, to pose on the cover and posters as the princess in the game, attempting to recapture the controversy that had boosted sales. Barbarian II received a mixed critical reception. Reviewers were split in their opinions over whether the game was a refreshing and gory adventure, or a boring and lonely sojourn through a confusing digital world. (en)
- Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax (en español Barbarian II: La mazmorra de Drax) es un videojuego desarrollado por Palace Software. Está ambientado dentro del subgénero literario perteneciente a la espada y brujería dentro de la fantasía heroica, de inspiración en la serie Dungeons & Dragons. El videojuego fue una mezcla de arcade y videojuego de lucha y fue la continuación de Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior. Se desarrolló indistintamente para varias plataformas de la época como Amiga, Atari ST o Amstrad CPC. También fue desarrollado para Apple II, BBC Micro y Acorn Electron. (es)
- Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax est un jeu vidéo de beat them all développé par Palace Software et publié en 1988 sur Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, DOS, GX-4000, MSX et ZX Spectrum. Il constitue le deuxième opus de la série, succédant au jeu de combat Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior publié en 1987 dont il poursuit le scénario en proposant un système de jeu différent. Dans Barbarian II, le joueur contrôle en effet une princesse ou un barbare et doit explorer un donjon pour retrouver et éliminer un sorcier maléfique. Bien que le jeu original permette à deux joueurs de s’affronter, ce second opus permet uniquement de jouer seul. Pour faire connaitre le jeu, Palace Software utilise la même stratégie marketing que pour le premier épisode de la série. Ils recrutent à nouveau pour représenter la princesse sur la pochette du jeu afin de faire renaître la controverse qui avait contribué au succès de Barbarian. Contrairement à ce dernier, le jeu reçoit cependant un accueil mitigé dans la presse spécialisée. En effet, si certains journalistes le décrivent comme « une aventure rafraîchissante et gore », d’autres le jugent ennuyeux et regrettent l’absence des combats entre joueurs. (fr)
- Barbarian II: The Dungeon of Drax, intitolato Axe of Rage nelle edizioni americane (della Epyx), è un videogioco picchiaduro pubblicato dalla Palace Software per i computer Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, Electron, MS-DOS, MSX e ZX Spectrum a partire dal 1988. È il seguito di Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior e ha per protagonista un barbaro o una barbara che deve esplorare un territorio vulcanico e dei sotterranei, affrontando creature mostruose. Rispetto al predecessore, che era puramente un picchiaduro a incontri, ha una componente di avventura. Ricevette prevalentemente buoni giudizi dalla critica dei suoi tempi, sia per l'aspetto sia per la giocabilità. Si fece notare anche per la buona dose di violenza. Come nel primo titolo, sulla copertina originale i barbari sono interpretati dalla modella Maria Whittaker e da Michael Van Wijk (culturista della TV britannica) seminudi. (it)

- A large, scaly, horned creature lies fallen on a cracked floor. A busty woman, wearing a metallic bikini and brandishing a sword, stands on its arm. A man, wearing a loincloth, squats astride the corpse while leaning on his battle axe. The words "Barbarian II" are emblazoned at the top in a banner. (en)
