Robert Ervin Howard
1906 - 1936

In 1932 a gifted young american writer by the name of Robert E. Howard brought Conan, a barbarian from the fictional land of Cimmeria, to life. Robert E. Howard's vibrant style of writing inspired a whole generation of fantasy writers, painters and many other artists. He basically invented the 'Barbarian' character type present in Pen and Paper RPGs, Computer games, movies and books.

The character of Conan has seen uncounted incarnations in many different medias since then. Books, comics, newspaper strips, movies, pictures, paintings, animated and real character TV series, various different merchandise, action figures, trading card games, board games, live-action stage show that ran for 10 years at Universal Studios in Los Angeles ... the list goes on and on.

On this website here, I want to concentrate on the computer and video games about our all-time favourite barbarian. I tried to gather all the relevant facts about all these games and in some cases, there are even downloads of playable versions available on this site too. Most require an emulator software as the first few games were not meant to be played on a PC when they were released.

Below you see the covers of these computer and video games that have been made and I am sure there will be more in the future. Click on any you want to know more about.
Enjoy.
