Here are the instructions for Barbarian (the joystick diagrams and
tables need to be in a monospaced font of course)

PLAYING INSTRUCTIONS

The Scenerio
The evil sorcerer Drax has abducted the beautiful Princess Mariana to
satiate his nefarious desires. A powerful warrior is sought to
vanquish Drax's demonic guardians and free the Princess. You are that
warrior: a mighty barbarian weilding your broadsword with deadly
skill.

The game is in two parts, Combat practice and Fight to the Death,
either of which may be loaded. Each warrior can survive twelve blows,
which are counted off at the top of the screen above the snakes
(player 1 on the left).

Demonstration mode and Practice mode
For both Combat practice and Fight to the Death, a demonstration mode
shows the various fighting moves and a practice mode allows you (as
player 1) to play against a passive swordsman in order to practice
your moves. There is a time limit of 90 seconds for each duel.

One-player mode
In Combat practice, you perfect your swordsmanship against ten of the
finest warriors in the land, each more skillful that the one before.
In Fight to the Death, you fight for the princess against the ten evil
minions of Drax and finally the evil one himself stands before you.
There is no time limit; the time display is replaced by the skill
level of the opponent you are facing.

Two-player mode
In the two player game, you fight your friend against the background
of two alternating screens in Combat practice, or two different
alternating screens in Fight to the Death. Points will be awarded
depending on the difficulty of the move used (score for player 1 is
given on the left). There is a time limit of 90 seconds for each duel.
At this time, if both players are still in the game, their strengths
will be restored and the next duel will commence.

Barbarian fighting moves - keyboard control
They keys to control the swordsmen are redefinable. Initially they are
defined as:

                Player 1    Player 2
    Left           Z             >
    Right          X             ?
    Up             Q             {
    Down           A             *
    Strike        TAB            

When using the keyboard, similar fighting moves to joystick control
can be obtained by suitable combinations of keys, e.g. for player 1
with a right facing character: for protect body, use keys X and Q	;
for flying neck chop use keys Z and TAB; for kick, use keys X, A and
TAB.
