Conan the Cimmerian
DOSAction
Conan the Cimmerian is a DOS action-adventure role-playing game developed by Synergistic Software and published by Virgin Games in 1991. It adapts Robert E. Howard's sword-and-sorcery setting, placing Conan in a dangerous journey across a world of hostile creatures, rival fighters, and ancient magic. The game combines side-scrolling exploration with direct melee combat, item management, conversation, and light role-playing progression. Players guide Conan through connected locations, gather equipment, and overcome enemies while pursuing the game's central adventure. Its presentation and atmosphere were notable for a computer game of its period, although contemporary reception was mixed, with criticism often directed at combat feel, difficulty, and uneven pacing. It remains a distinctive early Conan adaptation rather than a conventional arcade brawler.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
