Play Conan Online

Ocean Software released Conan for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1989, a time when side scrolling action games were common on the platform. It was based on the character from Robert E. Howard's stories, though it played more like a straightforward arcade style adventure than a deep narrative experience.

You control Conan himself, moving screen by screen through hostile environments like caverns and castles. Your main goal is to rescue a princess, fighting through waves of enemies with your sword and occasionally using a bow. The game requires precise jumps and quick reactions to avoid environmental hazards like spikes and falling stones. It moves at a fast pace and is known for its high difficulty, demanding patience and repetition. Playing it feels like a constant, tense struggle against both the enemies and the level design.
