Conan adapts the Robert E. Howard barbarian hero on Mindscape NES with the Cimmerian facing mystic creatures and black magicians by sword. The representation chains platform and fixed pattern combat on fantasy backdrop in a sword and sorcery license formula. Honest for fantasy NES platform fans in the 8 bit Mindscape production vein.

Late Conan license adaptation issued in 1992 by Mindscape, just as attention shifted toward the Super Nintendo. Its strong price reflects not quality, widely judged poor, but a small end of life print run that makes the North American release genuinely scarce. The appeal is the classic late release dynamic, sought to round out a complete NES library far more for market rarity than for the play experience itself.
