About this game

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
