About this game
Asterix and the Magic Cauldron was changed to Ardok the Barbarianon the worldwide C64 release of the game because they lost their license. Most sources today only talk about the North American change
Based on the French comic heroes Asterix & Obelix, the game is a side-scrolling beat-em up developed by Krome Studios in 1986. In super early previews from old UK magazines, you can see a tiny Asterix sprite for the C64 version but when it hit shelves worldwide, it was already renamed to Ardok the Barbarian
