Review by Underdogs:
Datasoft's Apple II classic Conan: Hall of Volta is one of the best cross-genre action games I have ever played, bar none. I remember spending countless hours on our rickety Apple II, staring at the screen with bleary eyes night after night until I was able to beat the game. Ever since this classic, very few action games without a save function have enticed me to play to completion. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what make Conan so addictive - my best guess is the inimitable combination of action, puzzles, variety, and cleverly designed levels. Andrew Schultz describes it very well in his reader review for GameFAQs:

"Conan is almost certainly one of the best games ever written for the Apple IIe. It's got seven different levels on a double-sided disk, which increase roughly linearly in toughness, and each one is so markedly different that you get the sense you're on a real adventure. At the very end of the game, you'll need to kill Volta, but the first few levels will keep you occupied as well. There is also an amusing epitaph, a graphic about sixty pixels wide and high, should you die, and it is adjusted for each level.
