Conan by Datasoft (subtitled Hall of Volta on some sources) on the Commodore 64 is a single-screen action-platformer where you guide Conan through seven trap-filled rooms of the evil wizard Volta’s fortress to destroy his crystal power orb. You start each level with a limited stock of “boomerang swords,” somersaulting across platforms, timing rides on moving lifts, and avoiding hazards like lava pits, geysers, spikes, and assorted monsters—bats, scorpions, giant ants, dragons, and floating eyes—while sometimes grabbing help from an “Avian Ally” for extra lives. Success relies on precise jumps and learning each screen’s pattern, with failure rewarded by one of several grim, illustrated death messages before you’re booted back to try again.
