    I think I remember it. I more than likely saw a demo of it at the PC Show. There was always a lot of Amiga stuff being showcased.

      More than likely, the Amiga was the far better & popular games machine back then!

      @@jaethemanchild Definitely had the best graphics, along with the Atari ST. I always wanted an Amiga, but they cost around £1,000. I couldn't get a C64 either in the mid-1980s because of its rather expensive cassette deck. Saying that, I was quite happy owning a ZX Spectrum, which most of my friends owned too. I remember always being asked to lend games out and I borrowed quite a few myself. My dad's work colleague's son who owned a BBC Micro told me he could make its games run on the ZX Spectrum, but I never actually witnessed it. He offered to convert some of its games for me back in 1985. Have you ever heard of that?

    There's also a sort-of Hagar game called Spike/Spikey in Transylvania, which used Hagar's design for the main character. (Don't know how they got away with that, the title screen is clearly just Hagar, just named "Spikey" (Spike on the actual game box))

      I think I’ve played that! Was it on the 8 Bits? Possibly a budget game?

    I remember the comic strip, although I didn't read The Sun, and I remember the Skol ads. Didn't realise the cartoon existed.
    I probably would have bought this if it was available on the Spectrum or Atari

      To be fair, Obelix probably died centuries before Hagar was born. :P And he could kick pretty much anyone's backside due to falling into the magic potion when he was a baby while Hagar doesn't seem to have any similar advantages.
